    The concepts of carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) are closely associated and can be considered either separately or together. In the physical media of typewriters and printers, two axes of motion, "down" and "across", are needed to create a new line on the page. Although the design of a machine (typewriter or printer) must consider them ...

    This code generates "page C‑2" just like the plain code "page C-2", but prevents a line break at the hyphen. However, like  , the use of ‑ instead of "-" renders the source text harder to read and edit. Don't use it unless it is really necessary to avoid a line break.

    Code 127 (DEL, a.k.a. "rubout") is likewise a special case. Its 7-bit code is all-bits-on in binary, which essentially erased a character cell on a paper tape when overpunched. Paper tape was a common storage medium when ASCII was developed, with a computing history dating back to WWII code breaking equipment at Biuro Szyfrów. Paper tape ...

    Carriage return (CR) is represented by $, and line feeds (LF) with a -; both had to be sent in turn to return the cursor to the start of the line, CRLF. Sixel also includes a rudimentary form of compression, using run-length encoding (RLE).

    \n new line \r carriage return \t tab \b backspace \f form feed \v vertical tab (Internet Explorer 9 and older treats '\v as 'v instead of a vertical tab ('\x0B). If cross-browser compatibility is a concern, use \x0B instead of \v.) \0 null character (U+0000 <control-0000>) (only if the next character is not a decimal digit; else it is an octal ...

    Technically, Perl does not have a convention for including block comments in source code, but POD is routinely used as a workaround. PHP. PHP supports standard C/C++ style comments, but supports Perl style as well. Python. The use of the triple-quotes to comment-out lines of source, does not actually form a comment. [19]
