There simply should not be any import-edit-export cycle at all. The purpose of an editor is to show the user the characters that comprise the String being edited, and allow him to add / remove characters at will. This is so obvious that I feel silly saying it. Why would some characters be silently messed by the system? I see no reason. It is like the horrible "ASCII mode" in FTP, that breaks every file it downloads.
Simple questions below. I do not necessarily know the answers.
If I open up a Workspace and begin editing, whether Squeak or Cuis, by default what kind of line endings do I get?
Cr.
Will I ever in editing newly created Squeak text/strings by default ever have multiple different line-endings?
No, if the only way you modify them is an editor.
If I ever have text in Squeak which has multiple line-endings, where did it come from? A file? Regardless of whether that file is on disk or in a stream via network.
Yes. Or some code that built it. Perhaps clipboard? Not sure.
