![]() ![]() However Mac, being Unix based, uses only a LF. Windows standard is to send a CRLF - i.e. However, especially in scripting/programming, Mac and Windows treat the end of a line of text differently. Now, in general hitting the “Enter” key performs a carriage return/line feed plus text programs have automatic “word wrap” without specifically having to hit Enter. These symbols made it into modern computer text technology/terminology, “cr” being carriage return and “lf” meaning line feed, both indicating the end of a line and the start of the next one (as computers don’t run out of “paper width”). Typewriters had carriages that had to be returned to the left most position to begin typing the next line line feed was for later, more automated machines that had the typing head moving and not the carriage, to indicate to return to the left go to the next line. The terms “line feed” and “carriage return” refer back to the days of typewriters and teletypes. What are you referring to when you say “line feeds”? I am sightly confused by that.
