How to Preserve Verbatim Text When Using Templates with the Gamma API

Hi Gamma team, I am running into an issue using templates with the API. In short, I've created a template, and I need to ensure that I am sending the verbatim text forward for the presentation that I'm creating. All of the research points to the fact that "preserve text" is not an option that can be used with the template's endpoint. Is there any workaround for this? The actual verbatim text that is being pushed forward is absolutely critical. So, as a little bit more context, I ended up going down the templates path due to the 5,000-character limit associated with additional instructions, which I was using to define and describe each of the slides.
