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

formatting to a plain text file and have it remain with the file for
later use.

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

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to make LibreOffice Writer open a plain
text file with paragraph double-spacing already applied to all of it.

My aim is to be able edit plain text files in (i) serif fonts and (ii)
double-spaced paragraphs.

I keep my documents in plain text but find myself having to change the
entire formatting of the document every time I open a plain text file for
editing.

I managed to get (i) working by means of Tools: Options: LibreOffice: Fonts:
Replacement Table.

However, I couldn't get (ii). I tried to create a template in which the
"Preformatted Text" style looks the way I want it to be, and then I
made this
template default.  But LibreOffice Writer just ignores the default template
when opening plain text files.

Thank you.
