Line Breaks and .txt

Whenever I transfer a note to my computer, the only thing I see is an .html file with all text on one line (as if I never used the enter key)

Hi,

these are actually two topics:

1. When you use "Formatted Documents", Notebooks creates HTML, because this is a document format that can easily be viewed and edited on all platforms

2. We use "Markdown" to convert the text to HTML, and one of the rules of Markdown is to end a line with two spaces or two returns in order to enforce a line break, otherwise the text will appear on one line. We know, this limiting, which is why the next update of Notebooks will add those two spaces automatically.

A final question: when the text appears on one line on your computer, is should appear like this in Notebooks, too. Isn't that the case?

Best,
Alfons

I click the little x in the upper right corner and the display mode switches . . .
