How best to format text in a simple text file?
#3
Hello,

I don't get the point here... If you write the text file yourself, you have all the control of adding blank lines, spaces, tabs etc. Sure, you have to take care of that yourself, as there is no module with automagically guesses what you want to file to look like and formats it like this.

I we recommend to put the text into a list of strings with the intented formatting and than write as a text file to the hard drive.

Regards, noisefloor
