Proper newline character is used inside code blocks.

This has now been addressed in dd7463259a and will be a part of the next feature release.
This was caused by behaviour of the WYSIYG editor, it means that an affected page may have to be edited/re-saved for it to be "fixed" by this change.

Thanks @Szwendacz99 for reporting.
