I'm loading a text frame from a utf-8 encoded text file, and within my Scribus

paragraph style to the following paragraph. Most paragraphs end with the 
Unicode paragraph separator character, \u2029, and in those cases the default 
paragraph style is fine.

My problem is that both these types of characters are matching '\r' when I use 
re.search in python. also, if I select either line separator character, then do 
getText(), I get a '\r' no matter what. I've confirmed that my file encoding is 
utf-8. What am I missing? How can I search for a simple '\n' character?

Hi Matt,

You don't say what OS you're using. Maybe running dos2unix on the text would 
help.
You might also experiment with the text file outside of Scribus. When I use 
Kwrite, I can use it to Find/Replace '\n' in files. You might see what this 
matches versus '\r'.
