"I am following the documentation provided at https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/openai/reference#completions. When making an API call, the response includes a 'choices' tag containing a 'text' tag with the following string:
'\n\nThis response example has the following sentences:\n\n1. This is the first sentence\n2. This is the second sentence\n3. This is the third sentence\n4. This is the fourth sentence\n5. This is the fifth sentence'.
While it seems that 'n1', 'n2', etc. represent bullet points, I'm unsure what else to expect in the output. I need this information to properly format the text for display to the user on the front-end."

This response example has the following sentences: 1. This is the first sentence 2. This is the second sentence 3. This is the third sentence 4. This is the fourth sentence 5. This is the fifth sentence -

I got part of my answer from Travis, in this particular case I have got \n, what other symbols can I expect in the output other than text and \n?
