Some people use the term "new line" or "newline" for characters that are either a carriage return, a line feed, or a combination of both. The TMX specification uses the term "line-break". It is my understanding that TMX allows both characters, and both characters is assumed to have their actual meaning.

Of course, it's possible that some converters also convert one to the other. For example, a converter might convert line feed (common under Linux) to carriage return + line feed (common under Windows). It can be difficult to decide whether converting them would be good or bad.

What does the \n mean in both of your regular expressions? [/quote]

Guess what: new line.

What I am referring to are segments that consists of several lines.

When aligning source and target to tab-del, these segments become a problem.

So my question was: should I replace the line-break with a ÿ or similar.
