Issue
Plain English dump file is opened using a word processor.
When the Plain English code is copied form the word processor and pasted into the Plain English Editor, the paste action removes all line feeds and the code appears in one continuous line.
Environment
- Plain English Editor
- Plain English Integrated Development Environment
- Dump File
- Continuum
Cause
Word processor line feed formatting is incompatible with the Plain English Integrated Development Environment.
Resolution
There are a number of text editors available online as freeware that are specifically designed for working with program code. These programs are designed to handle a wide variety of text formatting styles. Many of these editors also have feature to handle line manipulation and to make other formatting changes.
