How to write a multi-line note containing lines with heading spaces ?

Question

Hey there, I am trying to write a multiline note, where some of the lines have heading spaces. Concretely, in the diagram: @startuml A->B B->C note right of B : \"First line\n second line (indented)\n third line (indented)\nLast line\" D->C @enduml I would like to write the note in a multiline format instead, but keeping the result (where the second line and then third line are "indented" with some heading spaces) Is there any way to do that? Thank you in advance :-)

Hello,

As I understand:

@startuml
A->B
B->C
note right of B
First line
        second line (indented)
        third line (indented)
Last line
end note
D->C
@enduml

I tried copying this code and pasting it in my websequencdiagrams project and didn't work.
second line and thirdline wasn't indented.

How can i assign this way of multi-line comment to multiple participants?

We could do this if we could assign alias to the notes. But in this format, I dont know how.
