LF instead of CR for new lines or writing about Pharo inside Pharo
Hi all! :-) Today is a good day because Pharo is helping me a lot in getting things done (like in the Black Eyed Peas song, but nerdy style). Here you can see a screenshot of the exportation of the outliner project I have been working on (still in alpha): http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-54206a705cafd9.68856727.jpg Down is the Pharo outliner, upper left the markdown exportation and upper right the pdf exportation. As you can see, I have small glitches that need to be solved, mainly the fact that new lines are represented in Pharo by default with CR instead of LR, which doesn't like so much to the Pandoc[1][2] exporter. So, there is any way to change this behaviour to make LF the default character? This has some implications when you're writing code inside System Browsers or Playgrounds instead of my particular app? If yes, there is any way to replace each CR for LF in a text object, inside Pharo?

Hi :-), A small answer to myself that can be useful is someone find this thread: I have seen some post on Internet about CR and LF issues on Pharo Smalltalk, like this: [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11739548/how-to-correctly-decode-text-fil... [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1598054/smalltalk-newline-character A detailed search on the web take me to this: http://magaloma.seasidehosting.st/Collections-Strings Here I searched for "replace" and found the proper method: """ withInternetLineEndings change line endings from CR's to CRLF's. This is probably in prepration for sending a string over the Internet """ So taking my string and sending: myString contents withInternetLineEndings did the trick. I hope it will be helpful for future newbies. Cheers, Offray On 09/22/2014 01:38 PM, Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas wrote:

A better solution if you are writing to file, and still want to keep the string in image with its default line ending, is using the lineEnding conversion of the Stream (MultiByteFileStream >> lineEndConvention:). Cheers, Henry
