As there is a macro for OSPlatform current lineEnding (<n>) and one for CR (<r>) shouldnât there also be one for LF? E.g. in the Java String.format method %n is used for OSPlatform current lineEnding, \n for LF and \r for CR to cover all three cases.

<n> macro is expanded to CR. I was expecting that expands to the line ending of the platform, or at least to LF.
Anybody knows if this have some explanation?
I'm tempted to change the <n> expansion to use OSPlatform current lineEnding , and add <r> as a valid macro expanding to CR. I think it's more consistent with the general use.
Yes What do you think? If there's consensus I would create an issue and provide a Slice with the changes and some test cases. Yes I would love that someone or a group of Pharo lover fix the issues with the encoding. I remember a discussion a while ago.
