You want to remove carriage-returns and line-feeds from the text.dat file? Sure, that's possible. You probably don't want to remove *all*
of
them.

If you remove all of those because they "get in the way" for you, you'll end up having a lot more plain white/grey text on your BBS. But
if
that's the look you're going for, more power to you.

\1n is Ctrl-A/N (normal/lightgray color)
\1i is blinking attribute

These codes are in there for a reason. If you're modifying a
text.dat file without actually seeing where/how its used in the
BBS, I think you'lll be in for a big surprise when you see how it
actually looks when used.
You seem to be browsing the text.dat looking for things to
change. That is backwards. Instead, you should be browsing your
BBS looking for things you want to change and then if that thing
happens to be in the text.dat, change it then. Not before.

It might be a better use of time to read over the Synchronet documentation. Once you see your text.dat modifications working on your
BBS,
you're likely to want to tweak and change it more to look just how you want. Trying to make a lot of changes to your text.dat set up now
before you can use it seems like it would be somewhat of a waste of time. Also, there's a LOT more that goes into customizing a
Synchronet
BBS than just modifying text.dat.

LOL!!! Oh, you took a course, eh?
What you stated there above has absolutely *NOTHING* to do with
"logic". Nothing at all, period. Maybe you should take a course
on logic, too.
Asking technical questions means nothing. I work on linear
particle accelerators for a living. Care to have a debate about
nuclear physics?
Please, seriously, think about the questions you're asking. DM is
very patient and tries to answer your questions, but... many of
them really are quite silly. Especially when nearly every single
one of them concerns the details of "text.dat". That is near the
bottom of the list in importance of ANY file involved in SBBS.

why do some lines have them and others dont?
Some text.dat strings are multiple-lines, so they may have multiple sets of carriage-return/line-feeds. If you *use* the BBS and
experiment
with changes of the text.dat (e.g. adding/removing \r\n's), it'll be obvious why.

UTF-8 ... see the video https://youtu.be/ZlHG86U3IHs
Nope, not a valid UTF-8 character sequence. It's 0x8D which is also what early FidoNet specs called a "soft-carriage-return" (Soft-CR). I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or what.
