For what it’s worth, I use SublimeText which has linters for both Livecode 
Script and Livecode Builder that were so graciously provided by Trevor Devore. 
Not sure how many people know it, but we have a Datagrid and also sqlYoga 
because of Trevor.

Code is not the only editor to “assume” you want to change out all the line 
endings. Microsoft has been doing this for years. Just OPENING a file where the 
platform defaults differ from the document results in Microsoft Word altering 
the file, despite a user closing without saving.

It is in my opinion a serious violation of trust on Microsoft’s part. Who made 
them the gods of data formatting that they think they can take this license 
with files that do not belong to them?

Toshiba has an address book export function with line endings of a certain 
kind. If I open them in Word for Windows, edit the file and save it, everything 
works fine. If I just open the file on Word for MacOS it will “corrupt” the 
file, and I do mean corrupt! The file will become unusable even if it is not 
edited or saved.

One of a hundred things that upset me about Microsoft.
