Conditional Merge for Google Docs

Hey everyone, just trying to figure out if there's any way to use conditional statements with merge for Google Docs? I can see that someone has asked this question way back in 2015.

I've tried to get around it by using conditional statements in my Smartsheets, however I've run into formatting issues.

E.g. I want a paragraph of text and bullet points to show in a Google Doc if a certain cell has a certain value in the sheet. So I've used an IF statement for this purpose, however, the text is all treated as one continuous string with no carriage returns.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
