Newline in ionicpopup content

Is it possible to have a newline character in ionicpopup content?

I am trying to do this:

  $ionicPopup.alert({
                  title: 'Now what?',
                  content: "To start receiving messages: \n"
                           + "        - Open the side menu (button on top left) \n"
                           + "   - Tap 'Add Organisations' \n"
                           + "   - Browse the list of organisations available \n" 
                           + "or \n"
                           + "   - Enter a Passphrase to join a private group. \n \n"
                           + "Once you've subscribed to an organisation, you'll start receiving messages from them.",
                  buttons: [
                            { text: "Don't show me again" },
                            {
                              text: 'Okay',
                              type: 'button-positive'
                            }
                          ]
                }).then(function(res) {
                  if(res) {
                        console.log('You are sure');
                  } else {
                    console.log('You are not sure');
                  }
            });

My newline characters are not working. I see the content in the popup as one long paragraph without new lines.

Is this possible?
