What's the deal with the different characters? An amusing overview: http://blog.codinghorror.com/the-great-newline-schism/ |
Actually, I see references to this all the time, and I just don't understand what the issue is. I use notepad. not Notepad++, just the regular notepad that comes with Windows. I've edited config files for my Kobo and my Kindle, and edited html, vbscript, javascript and probably many other things I'm not remembering, all using plain old vanilla notepad. I've never had a problem with any system not recognizing the line endings.
Maybe people who are having problem are using either Wordpad or MS Word instead of notepad? Neither of those will work for working in code, but again...I've been working with scripts and devices for years, and never had a problem with notepad.
