Because comments are handled as an array of atoms, and Pd converts the strings
of text stored in Pd files to atoms by using whitespace as separators and
filtering out newlines.
It's the same process you see if you type a bunch of consecutive spaces and
newlines in an object box-- they are filtered out after you click on an empty
part of the canvas and the object gets instantiated.
I think Pd-l2ork saves your newlines in comments, but upon loading the patch it
still parses the string as a series of atoms. So you'll still lose data.

Hello
I there a reason when I make a long multi-sentence comment w/ carriage returns,
save the file, then reopen that all the formatting (<CR>'s) is gone and I am
left with a large glob of run-on text?
Yes, one could just have several separate comments and space them accordingly,
but why would one need to?
has this topic been brought up before? maybe this is different in pd-l0rk or
pd-x or something...
thanks!
