-  Files should be formatted with <code>\n</code> as the line ending (Unix-style line endings), not <code>\r\n</code> (Windows line endings).
+  Files should be formatted with the newline character (<code>\n</code>) as the line ending (Unix-style line endings) and specifically <i>not</i> the carriage return, newline sequence (<code>\r\n</code>) used with Windows-style line endings.
   There should be no extra whitespace at the end of the line.
   In addition, all text files should end in a single newline (<code>\n</code>). This avoids the <i>"No newline at end of file"</i> warning generated by certain tools.
