Re: Newlines problem
I never got it working with notepad either, but that hasn't really caused me any problems.

Re: Newlines problem
I think it might be because a dos program doesnt actually do 2 newlines. Its does newline/carriage-return combinations which might be causing the dom3 program to see it differently.
Just guessing.
You might be able to beat that by using the wordpad program which seems able to handle unix style files better than notepad

Re: Newlines problem
I've tried wordpad, but that didn't seem to work either. Should I choose some spesific kind of a text file from the list of available filetypes? As in, is there a *nix version of .txt?

Re: Newlines problem
Have you tried four newlines?
If you're looking for a good text editor under Windows, I can recommend Textpad. If you are looking for something free, I think Notepad++ is. Both should be able to load and save text in *nix format.

Re: Newlines problem
Four newlines on Vim didn't work. I'll try Notepad++.

Re: Newlines problem
A-ha! I had to create a new file, not edit an existing one, but Notepad++ works now! Thanks!
There are some problems with my format of choice. The biggest being that there's lots of scrolling down to see a unit's weapons and equipment. Hopefully most units will have much shorter descriptions.

Re: Newlines problem
windows uses 2 different characters to represent new lines, a carriage return and a line feed, which are ASCII 10 and 13 i believe. not sure about the order off the top of my head.
