Plain text files are files without formatting. That's what makes them "plain" text. I've never known a way to apply paragraph formatting to a plain text file and have it remain with the file for later use.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Open plain text with double-spacing

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to make LibreOffice Writer open a plain
text file with paragraph double-spacing already applied to all of it.

My aim is to be able edit plain text files in (i) serif fonts and (ii)
double-spaced paragraphs.

I keep my documents in plain text but find myself having to change the
entire formatting of the document every time I open a plain text file for
editing.

I managed to get (i) working by means of Tools: Options: LibreOffice: Fonts:
Replacement Table.

However, I couldn't get (ii). I tried to create a template in which the
"Preformatted Text" style looks the way I want it to be, and then I made this
template default.  But LibreOffice Writer just ignores the default template
when opening plain text files.

Thank you.
