Atlantis offers flexible tools for working with plain text documents. The most interesting among them are two following operations: joining paragraphs and splitting paragraphs.
As you might know, each line of a plain text document is terminated with a paragraph end mark, i.e. each line is a separate paragraph. But when converting your plain text document to RTF format, you have to remove all unnecessary paragraph end marks because paragraph end marks should be used in RTF documents solely for separating paragraphs not paragraph lines.
Example. Let's imagine that we have opened a plain text document which contains the following text. As you see, this document contains three unnecessary paragraph end marks.
We can easily remove these spare paragraph end marks. Let's select all our text.
Then click the button on the toolbar of Atlantis.
Also you can choose the Edit | Special | Join Paragraphs command, or press the Ctrl+Shift+U keys.
As you see, now our document contains a single paragraph.
Let's talk about the reverse operation – splitting paragraphs.
Before saving your RTF document as a plant text file, you might want to place a paragraph end at the end of each line to partially preserve the layout of your document in the plain format.
For this simply select the desired paragraphs,
and click the button on the toolbar of Atlantis.
Also you can choose the Edit | Special | Split Paragraphs command, or press the Ctrl+Shift+K,U keys.
As you see, now each paragraph line is terminated with a paragraph end mark so our document saved as a plain text document, would contain 5 lines too.
