In Slim templates, HTML comments on separate lines are rendered on the same line

Question

When writing HTML comments in SLIM:

/! The first line of comments
/! The second line of comments

The output becomes

<!-- The first line of comments --><!-- The second line of comments -->

All the other generated HTML is properly formatted and indented because I set pretty equal to true

I'm writing templates for other people to use so I need comments with line breaks for readability.

You can achieve a single multi-line comment in Slim like this:

/!
  The first line of comments
  The second line of comments

Which should output this:

<!-- The first line of comments
The second line of comments -->

Spoke too soon. The result is the same as in my original post. – Steven Yuan Jan 14 '14 at 21:30
Sorry! You don't need the `|` I made the edit in the post (... and I actually tested it this time!) – benjaminjosephw Jan 14 '14 at 22:45
I tried exactly that and in the HTML I see a single line: "" Any ideas how to force it to be on 2 lines? – Hackeron Nov 17 '18 at 11:20
