I decided against todo.txt a while ago, because it didn’t have multi-line tasks.
So, I just checked if that’s still the case, and yep, it’s issue #2 in the todo.txt repo and still open almost 4 years later.
Really annoying, because there’s a fair number of todo.txt compatible apps. I guess, this is one of those cases where it “won”, because it is worse in this regard, as that simplifies parsing.
Right, yeah, I saw your comments on that issue #2 and how no one responded.
My solution was to adopt (a small subset of) the Emacs OrgMode syntax. There’s decent mobile apps available, which I use for setting up and receiving reminders. And then on the desktop for the simpler stuff, I just edit the files with my editor (which is not Emacs).

I resorted many years ago to begging the app developers to support it, since the spec maintainers are long gone. They also refused ☹
