# FAQ

## utf8 with BOM?

Currently lolikit just simple ignore the BOM. But I highly recommended DO NOT contain BOM in your note files.



## What's the newline format should I use?

Lolikit believe you should use **only one** kind of newline format (one of `\n`, `\r`, `\r\n`) in your project. But you can decided which one you want.

You can run `loli check` to check inconsistent of the newline characters.
