exactly. because bbedit does such a great job of handling this in the 
background, i had no idea one could have an inconsistent mix of line 
returns... or that that was the cause of the red questions marks... or that 
there was a simple menu item for dealing with same.

I realise sarcasm is engaged, but BBEdit does normally handle line breaks 
transparently, so there’s probably an inconsistent mixture in those docs.

Cheers

Re: Inverted question marks and carriage returns

[Bruce Linde]

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.

Since such a file almost certainly contains mixed line endings, 
please choose Text -> Normalize Line Endings, then save the 
file, and it should display correctly everywhere.

Inverted question marks and carriage returns

[Gary Chike]

Hi everyone,
I noticed that when I save an HTML file in other editors like Espresso or 
Chocolat and open that file in BBedit, the carriage returns are replaced 
with red inverted question marks. TextMate shows "" everywhere in the 
same file. Interestingly enough, when I save the same file in Sublime Text 
or Flux 6, the red inverted question marks disappear and the formatting 
returns to normal in both BBedit and TextMate. Any thoughts?

Gary
