Some editors allow you to window wrap while typing, or they will wrap at a set character limit. I'm referring to the latter setting.

How could that be if there
were markers inserted into the text instead of wrapping the text on
the fly at an arbitrary placed line, either at the right window border
or e.g. after the 80th column?

In these editors, though the text wraps while editing, it's not in the formatting.

Type some text in MicroEd. Copy and paste it to NotePad and switch off wrapping in NotePad. Note that the wrapping persists.

Try the same with say .. ThunderBird or another editor.

How hard can it be for MicroEd to "remember" where I pressed Enter
myself? It can insert any marker it is good and ready to, why does it
have to be the code for LF, of all the available characters and
combinations thereof?

I'll leave that query for Stephan. However, it would seem that other editors don't do this to prevent the limitation you mentioned.

What advantages does this system yield?

Do we really have to go through this again. It was all discussed months ago.

Would it? Obviously, I had no complete understanding of the system
before. Now I think I do - and the problem is no easier to tolerate
than before.

You seem to have your mind made up already. Yes.
