Newline handling

Newline endings is a sad story in computer history. In Unix / MacOS ( / *BSD / Amiga / ...) the standard line ending is the line feed (LF) character \n. Microsoft DOS (also Palm OS and OS/2?) infamously attempted to make a combination of carriage return (CR) and line feed the standard: CRLF (\r\n). This made everybody mad - and they still are.

See the keep_crlf configuration directive to understand how Scrut handles LF and CRLF and how you can modify the default behavior.
