- Why can't verbfile.sty and verabtim.sty be patched to work both with
- nl and CR/LF? Wish: I would also appreciate a version that can expand
- TAB characters to `n' spaces, the default being 8.
-
- NL vs. CR/LF: That is due to the underlying TeX implementation. If the
- standard end-of-line terminator of the operating system is CRLF you
- don't get the empty line. Usually, the Unix TeX gives you an extra
- empty line when it sees CRLF in the input file. But since this is not
- standard Unix text file format, I don't consider it a problem. If you
- import DOS files you have to convert them, point. There is nothing
- that can be done about it at the TeX macro level, EXCEPT ignoring
- every empty line. If that is what you want, no problem. Read the
- documentation of verbatim.sty to learn how to do it.
-
- As for the TAB issue: the next distribution of verbatim.sty will
- probably include such an option.
