Think through CRLF handling in notes

[himselfv]

Newline on Windows is traditionally \r\n. Meanwhile Firefox controls seem to have it as just \r, and that is saved to .txt if you just write the text.

I'm currently replacing it \r\n before saving, but this is just as bad since on Linux it is traditionally the other way, just \r.

Ideally, it should:

• preserve the existing linefeeds from the file (not sure if possible) And/or either:
• always follow the platform (if you're saving on Windows, use CRLF, on Linux just LF)
• follow some sort of universal standard (e.g. if UTF-8 says we write \n, then always write \n) if there's one (doesn't seem to be)
• obey the user setting

No, on Linux, it is \n (LF).

I think that on Mac, it is \r (CR).

And, I think, but I am not sure, that \r\n will be understood by Linux and Mac, even if it is not native for them.
