Test Code Block with Line Breaks

Here’s a fenced code block that should preserve line breaks:

message | ˈmesij
1 a verbal, written, or recorded communication sent to or left for a recipient who cannot be contacted directly: if I’m not there, leave a message on the voice mail.
US English an official or formal communication, especially a speech delivered by a head of state to a legislative assembly or the public: the president’s message to Congress.
an email or similar electronic communication: select an option to delete your mail messages.
an electronic communication generated automatically by a computer program and displayed on a screen: an error message.
a divinely inspired communication from a prophet or preacher: Jesus and his followers were promulgating a specifically Judaic message for Judaic adherents.
US English a television or radio commercial: we will return after these messages.
