@nothappy CRLF = carriage return + line feed (i.e \r\n)
LF = line feed (just \n) -
620hun83706y@Krokoklemme everyone who wants to ensure compatibility across platforms and software

@620hun and yet, I've never had an issue with only using LF
idk if that's just a case of "works on my machine", but i never had to use CRLF, not even on Windows. The only program i can think of that doesn't handle only LF as a line separator is notepad (and even that is changing now) -
@Krokoklemme in my experience, it really is just notepad. problem is: just about everyone non technical doesn't realize that notepad is not the only text editor.
"open a text editor."
"a what? ... that thing? that's notepad. why don't you just say notepad then!"
gahhhhhh! -
tokumei21316yCRLF is still the "standard" line separator of text-based Internet protocols Like HTTP/IRC IIRC though most servers will accept both.
It's almost 2019 and CRLF is still a fucking thing
