Re: [libreoffice-users] Open plain text with double-spacing

Yes. But the formatting is not supposed to remain. It's just for displaying
it on the screen.  I just want to edit plain text in a more comfortable
environment, and still keep them as old plain text.

As far as I know, only LibreOffice can do both (serif and double-spaced
plain text), even if not automatically upon opening a file.

It's not saving but just opening with a particular style.

Thanks,
Nicolai
