Those are the conventions for plain text files on those systems. 
Although I believe Mac OSX uses LF, same as Unix, while Mac OS up to 
version 9 used CR.

Even in the case of plain text, now that files are so readily 
transferred between systems, most decent text editors cope fine with all 
3 formats regardless of which system they're running on.

For LibreOffice documents, I think you do. What do you do in a document 
which might be transferred between different systems?

Does CHAR(13) in a LibreOffice formula on Mac even have the intended 
effect of splitting lines? Come to that, does LibreOffice even run on 
Mac OS 9 or before? I suspect LibreOffice only uses CHAR(10) regardless 
of OS, although I don't have a Mac (let along one before OSX) to try.

On Windows LibreOffice, all that's needed is CHAR(10). CHAR(13) has no 
apparent effect, other than cluttering the formula.

Mark.
