Tips
Line break formats vary by operating system: Windows (CRLF), Unix/Linux (LF), and Classic Mac (CR).
For web development, LF format is recommended for better cross-platform compatibility.
Auto-detection helps identify the original format when converting between different systems.
Differences in line break codes are also important depending on the programming language.
In cross-platform development, it's common to unify to LF.
Text editors can automatically convert line break codes in their settings.
In web development, using LF is standard.
Converting line break codes improves file compatibility.
