Note that leading and trailing newlines, if present, are included: $ LANG = C tr a-z A-Z <<< ' > one > two three > ' ONE TWO THREE $ The key difference from here documents is that, in here documents, the delimiters are on separate lines; the leading and trailing newlines are stripped.
Conversely, if a newline is considered a terminator, all text lines including the last are expected to be terminated by a newline. If the final character sequence in a text file is not a newline, the final line of the file may be considered to be an improper or incomplete text line, or the file may be considered to be improperly truncated.
In lists of links such as inside infoboxes and navboxes, use a horizontal list (perhaps via the template {}) to format lists. For occasional cases where you need to delineate two pieces of text outside of a list, you can use the templates or which contain a before the dot, thus handling some of the wrapping problems.
Single line breaks in the source text are not translated to single line breaks in the output (if you want a single line break to appear in the rendered article, use a <br /> tag or {} template). However, single line breaks in the source do have certain effects: Within a list, a single line break starts either the next item or a new paragraph ...
This method may cause line break insertion: Standard section transclusion may introduce a leading or trailing line break or newline, depending on the markup in the source and target pages. To prevent this, wrap the transclusion code in a {{trim}} template. See examples below.
Many trim functions have an optional parameter to specify a list of characters to trim, instead of the default whitespace characters. For example, PHP and Python allow this optional parameter, while Pascal and Java do not. With Common Lisp's string-trim function, the parameter (called character-bag) is required.
A non-paragraph line break, which is a soft return, is inserted using ⇧ Shift+↵ Enter or via the menus, and is provided for cases when the text should start on a new line but none of the other side effects of starting a new paragraph are desired. In text-oriented markup languages, a soft return is typically offered as a markup tag.
