>> if newlines were paragraph separators.
It’s easy to find each “\n” and replace it with with “\n\n", to provide space
between lines, but I have a feeling that’s not what you’re thinking of.
Keep in mind that BBEdit is a text editor, not a word processor or page layout
app. In text, “\n” stands for a newline; but it doesn’t carry any of the
paragraph formatting that a word processor might provide via “space before” or
“space after” in its paragraph formatting controls.
When I import text into an app like Affinity Publisher, Adobe InDesign, etc, I
rely on those apps to provide the paragraph formatting.
Now, another newline issue can be that paragraphs themselves are
“hard-wrapped”, meaning that “\n" is used WITHIN paragraphs to make the lines
wrap. In those cases, my goal is usually to remove the “\n”s except where I
really want to end the line. That’s another easy find/replace op. BBEdit
provides controls to flip “soft wrapping" on/off, so I can see a whole long
line wrapped to a viewable width if necessary, but without inserting newlines
to make it wrap.
But really, I’m guessing here what you both want. Examples?
