Unix newlines problems

bwilliams · February 26, 2010

Hi and help:
I have a style sheet validated and ready to commit, but I keep getting blocked with the message "Please use Unix newlines for CSL files." I have already used the "flip" utility, and it is telling me that the file is Unix. What to do, what to do?

Thanks all.

I assume you're on windows? This is so much easier on unix/linux -
this one looks like it could work:

edit: looks like it worked? what did you do?

I changed my preferences in Oxygen to use Unix-like endlines. I hope that's solved it.

oh yes - if you're using Oxygen that's the solution. I somehow assumed that you didn't.

I had the same error when I tried to commit my style.

I used Notepad++ as my editor and the following conversion worked like a charm:

Edit > EOL conversion > Unix Format

(FYI for the noobs like me, EOL stands for End of Line)
