are you kidding me? 'normalize line endings'?

i thought SOP was "try a bunch of encodings only to find that none of them 
work. then try to copy and paste the upside-down question marks into the 
search and replace dialog box only to find that they paste in as a line 
return or nothing. beat head on wall. view source in a browser and then 
copy and paste the source into a new document."

why is it on us to RTFM? why can't bbedit just 'know' when line returns 
need normalizing, and automatically take care of it? for that matter, why 
can't bbedit figure out why my code doesn't work? or why i have to pay 
property taxes? or why i lost that particular eBay auction?

seriously... just another great feature i never noticed before... but 
needed. and now have.

thanks (as always) for a rockin' app.
