This capability can be used by a teacher to provide a student with a homework assignment on a floppy disk. Or for a son or daughter to cut and paste a news article, joke or email from the internet into a text file for a parent to read. The easiest rule is to provide one or more blank lines between paragraphs of text in a simple 7 bit US-ASCII text file.

Note that character encodings other than 7 bit US-ASCII provide symbols and foreign language characters that are not found in a simple 7 bit US-ASCII text file and that is a good thing. The Unicode UTF-8 character encoding is the current standard for representing symbols and foreign language characters in a computer file. Therefore Unicode UTF-8 is the assumed character encoding when reading in a text file from your file system. 7 bit US-ASCII is a subset of Unicode UTF-8. If you generate a text file for someone to read with CueLine® READER you must use either 7 bit US-ASCII or Unicode UTF-8 character encoding.
