Pretty Print uses Carriage Return (CR \r) and not Line Feed (LF \n)

convert eol determines whether the function converts the end of line markers it writes into system end of line markers. An end of line marker is a carriage return followed by a linefeed on Windows, a carriage return on Mac OS, and a linefeed on UNIX. The LabVIEW end of line marker is a linefeed.

I think this issue has not caused problems because the Write to Text file converts EOL by default, and LabVIEW understands the old Mac EOL.

So I think we should switch Pretty Print to use LF (\n) rather than CR (\r).
