According to W3C, Authors may include newlines in the generated content by
writing the "\A" escape sequence in one of the strings after the 'content'
property. This inserted line break is still subject to the 'white-space'
property. See "Strings" and "Characters and case" for more information on the
"\A" escape sequence.
However, Mozilla treat this as whitespace rather than newlines.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try testcases.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
\A doesn't generate as newlines.

Expected Results:  
\A should be generated as newlines.

"still subject to the 'white-space' property" means the testcase needs
'white-space: pre'.
