There are LFs: decimal 10. But I just found my answer and thereby two "bug/features" to report: The Open dialog has a check-box "Translate line breaks" which was checked. The manual (10.5.4) states "When this option is selected, BBEdit translates Windows or Unix line breaks..." (but does not specify into what; it must be Mac CRs) and also states "Unlike the other options in the Open dialog, the setting of this option is not preserved between uses of the Open command,..." which is true since it always falls back to translating. Which I do not want. I'll request a feature to be added (an extra checkbox "preserve this setting")
The last set of BBEdit's preferences is about "Text Files" and there one can choose one of three radio buttons Unix/Classic/Windows, but it is unclear what effect that choice has. While editing one does not really care, but when reading and writing the file it may be important that line breaks are not changed. BBEdit cannot store some indication with the file to remember which type of line breaks to use. I suspect that it stores (or could store) this information in the same .plist file where are also kept the window positions and other info about files that have been opened once. Since these particular files are opened after they have been generated, and BBEdit has no info about them in its .plist, I suspect it translates the line breaks and selects "Classic Mac". But it needs some more experimenting. OK, thanks, and subject closed for the time being. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
