hello i recently got my computer reformatted and when i try to install a cfg the layout is a clusterfuck and hard to read. does anyone know how to fix this? i tried going on notepad clicking format and worldwrap which helped a bit but is still hard to read.

when i had this cfg before my reformat it looked organized and in categories

quickest temporary fix is paste it in pastebin, recopy it and re paste it in notepad and the format will be fixed

Word wrap was going to be my suggestion. Sometimes text files have these issues for some reason. It tends to be by-file for me rather than just all text files through notepad. Try opening it in wordpad and see if the formatting is still there.

Use Notepad++. Even if it doesn't display properly, it has all sorts of text formatting macros that might help re-format the file.

This or any IDE.

Notepad doesn't support *nix-style line feeds (\n), but instead it requires the carriage return before the line feed (\r\n). As others have suggested, switch to a better editor/IDE.

Use Notepad++

Basically Notepad on steroids, fixed this issue for me a while ago when I was looking for a better text editor for hud editing.

I see this a lot when people don't set EOL mode on GitHub stuff, like cfgs and huds. All it needs is this in the .gitattributes file.

* text=auto
