Description

The lineEnding property determines or changes the line endings created by the line chunk type and the sort command, and the line endings used in the default applicationPaths, documentPaths, and includePaths.

Notes

The default line ending in OpenXION is newline.

For consistent behavior, the lineEnding should be set to one of the following: return&newline, newline, return, linesep, or parasep. Although the lineEnding can be set to anything, only those particular strings will be recognized as line endings, no matter what the lineEnding is set to.
