    The Menu___: Format option seems missing on my new install of notepad++

    Has this feature changed?

    You are right, from version 5.6.2(or maybe .1, I don't remember… :-P) that feature has moved to "Edit -> EOL Conversion" menu :-)

    I don't have this convenient feature either.
    I was shocked to such extent that I forgot I could do find-n-replace.

    Reportedly, the following is true:

    Unix format New Line = '\n'
    Windows format New Line = '\r\n'
    Mac format New Line = '\r'

    See ices_eyes' post above. The feature isn't missing in the latest versions, it was just moved to the Edit menu.

    Yeah, I've seen it, but too late. I noticed it right after I submitted the reply, and I couldn't edit or delete my reply.

    Anyway, to tell the truth,  this change(in notepad++ interface) cause more trouble to a user. I wonder how many people can figure out what is EOL on the spot.

    I preferred it in main Format Menu as i used this feature a lot.
    now it requires more clicks to accomplish this task  :(

    You can always bind it to a macro, and use the new Macro menu entry thereafter.
