Have just recently found NP++ , congrats to all. Found it really easy to use so far.
My question is as follows
Am using the ANSI ver on .(5.1.1) XP Pro SP 3
l and can read the plain txt file in everything on my notebook ie Win Notepad, Word etc BUT have sent this file to my Designer who uses a Mac and she reports that the "text has odd things in place of apostrophes and quotation marks"
What is the diff between the ANSI and the UNICODE ver of NP++ and should either use the UNICODE ver or convert this file to another format.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Regards
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The only reason to choose the older ANSI version instead of the newer Unicode one is support to old, unconverted plugins. Since you have discovered N++ only recently, you sure don't have these problems, thus I'd say you should get the Unicode version.
On more thing that could help you (though I doubt it) is using the "Convert to MAC format" command from the "Format" menu. To see the difference, go to the "View" menu and choose "Show symbol -> Show all characters". You will see that whenever you use the Return key to start a new line, in Windows you have two characters, Carriage return and Line Feed; on the other hand, MAC only uses the Carriage return one (while Linux only uses Line Feed). This MIGHT cause some problems if you open a Windows file with a MAC-specific program.
If this doesn't solve it... I don't know what to tell you. :-(
