Choose newline character in Notepad++

I notice that when I load a text file, Notepad++ will recognize and use whatever the newline character in that file is, \n or \r\n.

Is there some option where I can select which to use by default for new documents?
(I've looked in help and googled, but can't find anything.)

Solution

  • For any new document: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document (left pane) -> New Document (right pane) -> Format (Line ending) -> Windows (CR LF) / Unix (LF) / Macintosh (CR)

    And for an already-open document: Edit -> EOL Conversion
