Textpad display termination characters

Is there a way to make textpad display termination characters like notepad++ does?
notepad++ had a little CR or carriage return and LF for Line Feed and CRLF where as with textpad I cant tell what kind of termination character it is.
Thanks

Does this help?
On the Main Menu, click on View/Visible Spaces.
Also set Configure/Preferences/View.
Put checks in the boxes for visibility on Paragraphs/Spaces/Tabs.

Not on its own, I think, because specked wants to distinguish LFs from CRLFs.
If you highlight text containing a line ending, a LF shows as a single highlighted space; a CRLF shows as two highlighted spaces. The difference is indeed easier to see if Visible Spaces has been selected.

That's a shame. I hope some textpad dev's see this post. I use textpad daily for programming and data manipulation. It would be great to have a CRLF identifier as clear as what is available from notepad++
Thank you for your replies guys.

You can check with
View | Document Properties (
<Alt-Ret>)
On the
Document tab, under
File type TextPad indicates the line endings as follows:
Code: Select all
Line TextPad
ending indication
------- ----------
CRLF DOS
LF UNIX
CR Mac
CRCRLF Netscape [for erroneous historical reasons]
[mixed] Unknown
