Note: this code only replaces carriage returns, not line feeds. Remember an ancient typewriter. The carriage return returns the carriage to the beginning of the line, but does not advance to the next line. This enables the typist to overstrike, underline, or embolden characters. The linefeed advances to the next line, and used without a carriage return, enabled e.e.cummings to write his non-stop paragraphing.
