crlf vs lf
A practical TinyDevTools guide.
Two common conventions
Unix-like systems traditionally use LF (line feed). Windows text commonly uses CRLF (carriage return plus line feed). Git, editors, runtimes, and file formats can normalize or preserve these characters depending on configuration.
What TinyDevTools does
The current line-oriented tools split input with a CRLF-or-LF pattern, so either common convention is accepted. Their outputs are joined with LF.
Why it matters
Line-ending changes can create noisy diffs, affect shell scripts, and make exact string comparisons surprising. If Git shows every line modified when content appears unchanged, line endings are one of the first things to inspect.
