What is the double space trick?

I am trying to find a way to create documents for my own use (better known as notes). I need to convert these to EPUB and MOBI to read on ereaders. I have tried Notepad, Wordpad and Open Office and always the same problem.

Using Open Office I was able to save the created text file with CR+LF. CR, and LF as paragraph terminators. CR+LF double spaces and with CR or LF every thing runs all together.

I created a file in Notepad and opened it up in Sigil. I manually removed the line terminator and replaced it. A return (enter key) by itself gives a double space and a shift+return gives a single space. This is a poor work-around and brings other problems.

Back in the "good old days" text editors allowed you to display and find/replace special characters (ascii control codes). Since this is no longer the case, I'm flying blind and have no idea what is going on.

Any ideas?

Thanks - John
