Text file format

Hi, I'd appreciate some help on formatting the text file.
I must be the grenest user on the planet, as no one else has this question, but it is completely opaque to me!
What are the appropriate separators? What is the extension responding to, to separate quotations?

So I have "This is a quotation." - author
"This is another quotation." - another author

Exactly what should I type into the text file to get these to display?

Many thanks in advance,
Christian

Just put each quote and author on a separate line.You can use notepad in windows or any editor that saves a file in pure text format.
(just type the info and hit enter, go to the next line and type the info and hit enter again .Save the file in text format and try it.
You can also use one of the many free editors that can be downloaded. I like bluefish(bluefish.openoffice.nl/).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply; yes, it is a help.

I wonder if you could help with a couple of details. In the displayed quotations, there are no spaces after punctuation. Is there a way to overcome this?
that?

Thanks again,
