> Help reads: : "\n is for line end entered with Shft+Enter"
(for anyone else reading - the help page by clicking Help on the search/replace
window and clicking "List of Regular Expressions")
This is a documentation bug. This refers to Writer only, not Calc.
In *Writer*, <Enter> creates a "Paragraph break", whereas <Shift><Enter>
creates a "line break". Search/replace works as per the "List of Regular
Expressions" docs in Writer, specifically:
> \n
> Represents a line break that was inserted with the Shift+Enter key
> combination. To change a line break into a paragraph break, enter \n in the
> Find and Replace boxes, and then perform a search and replace.
> \n in the Find text box stands for a line break that was inserted with the
> Shift+Enter key combination.
> \n in the Replace text box stands for a paragraph break that can be entered
> with the Enter or Return key.
> Hence I do not have a file to test this exactly..
The steps I listed result in a doc to test this.
> behavior was the same in version 3.3.0 and is in OpenOffice.
> So, is this really a bug, or something that behaves different than expected??
It's a bug. The content of "replace" should be interpreted as a regex (i.e. \n
should be interpreted as a newline, not a literal string). It may well have
always been a bug in Open/LibreOffice.
