Android/Java world as well most components, tools and libraries uses UTF-8 + \n line endings by default (or better say, support that fully and best). Which happens also to be the most common file encoding nowadays.

What would be possible that Markor detects win1252 encoding and converts it to UTF-8. Everything except Windows stoneage notepad.exe should be capable of handling UTF-8 + \n line endings.

Thanks, pity that you can't adjust that.

Messing with crlf or encodings is likely to cause a lot of issues. Basically everything supports / requires utf-8 now.

@gsantner even notepad in windows 10+ supports utf-8 and unix line endings :)
