Re: What is new line? \n? \j? 13? 10? 15?

you might want to go over to: http://www.w3.org/ and run a search for line feeds carriage return, form feeds etc....you get, depending on your query, results like below..........you might find the info you need there, > Another work around is to use line feeds (^L) as soft returns and > carriage returns (^M) as the end of paragraph marks, but this is not > very common. I should say not: ^L is a page break, not a line feed. That would be a pretty odd-looking document. I assume you meant ^J, but the problem with that proposal is that both ^J and ^M are in use: UNIX uses line feeds (^J) at the end of every line; Macintosh uses carriage returns (^M), and DOS/Windows uses CRLF (^M^J). Adopting any other use for these extremely characters would cause a fair bit of chaos. =========== ken
