Can you encode CR/LF in into CSV files?

Question

Is it possible/legal to somehow encode CR/LF characters into a CSV file?

(as part of a CSV standard?)

If so how should i encode CR/LF?

Answer 1

Mention has been made here of a standard for CSV. I'd be interested to know more about this - the only standards I'm aware of are

• whatever excel accepts

• the RFC at www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt
