I don't know if it's a bug or not. I write the raw .DO file straight to the SD card (via the AWESOME NADSbox :-) then transfer it to my linux box for conversion.

I convert the 0x08 to space since failing to do that would cause the words to run together. Seems like it's being treated as a soft line-break? I'm not converting the other special characters for italics, bold, underline, etc. yet because I don't use them, but since I'm stepping through the file one character at a time it should be a trivial exercise to implement that if I ever use them. I mostly write markdown on the WP-2 so I use the MD syntax. :-)

Anyway, I thought you'd be interested since you wrote that excellent conversion page. It has been perfectly accurate so far.

Regards,    Bert

And there are at least two wp2 firmware version. So it may differ.

ASCII 8 is backspace. I guess the thing to decide is how to use or not use the character when converting to other formats.

If it's just an artifact of how the lines are broken over the display (as opposed to newlines which are $0d) then it could be ignored.
