And do you mean that with soft-wrapping off, a paragraph is still broken into
multiple lines with “\n”s?
If I were to import that to a page layout app, I would first remove all of
those interior “\n”s in BBEdit; otherwise they’ll mess up the page layout’s
formatting.

Keep in mind that BBEdit is a text editor, not a word processor or page layout
app. In text, “\n”

Soft wrapping is off… so I don’t know if this can be fixed other than manually
adding a space after each paragraph.

I'd like to learn how to do this, too. BBEdit would be a fantastic
companion editor for desktop publishing apps like Affinity Publisher if

Hi, Bruce, thanks for your suggestions.
Affinity Publisher is really cool, but it's not the best for editing text.
BBEdit excels at editing text.
I think I see how to do this.
The challenge is to edit with visible paragraph breaks that reflow with
text window changes. After pasting into
Greetings, AppleScript Gurus:
I would like to producea a batch of PDF files, each customized for a given

I can create a TSV file with BBEdit that contains one customized line per
