What Text Editor Program Is Supposed to be Used for Forge?

What text editor are the card files for individual cards supposed to be opened and edited with? Notepad jumbles everything together in a big mess. For example:
What text editor are other people using instead of Notepad?
But I noticed that this board somehow reads and correctly adds the paragraph breaks. For example:Name:Vivien's JaguarManaCost:2 GTypes:Creature Cat SpiritA:AB$ ChangeZone | Cost$ 2 G | Origin$ Graveyard | Destination$ Hand | ActivationZone$ Graveyard | IsPresent$ Planeswalker.Vivien+YouCtrl | SpellDescription$ Return CARDNAME from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only if you control a Vivien planeswalker.DeckHints:Type$VivienOracle:{2}{G}: Return Vivien’s Jaguar from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only if you control a Vivien planeswalker.PT:3/2
- Code: Select all
Name:Vivien's Jaguar
ManaCost:2 G
Types:Creature Cat Spirit
A:AB$ ChangeZone | Cost$ 2 G | Origin$ Graveyard | Destination$ Hand | ActivationZone$ Graveyard | IsPresent$ Planeswalker.Vivien+YouCtrl | SpellDescription$ Return CARDNAME from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only if you control a Vivien planeswalker.
DeckHints:Type$Vivien
Oracle:{2}{G}: Return Vivien’s Jaguar from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only if you control a Vivien planeswalker.

I don't work on Forge, but if you are using Windows it could be a simple newline encoding issue.
Windows typically uses a carriage return followed by a linefeed to encode newlines. Other operating systems like Linux only use a linefeed. Notepad is notorious for not handling this very well so that, when you open a text file created on Linux, everything appears to be on a single line (with non-printable characters interspersed all over). Most editors however are able to handle those files correctly. Try opening the files with a more advanced editor like Notepad++ to see if this fixes the problem.

I downloaded and installed Notepad++ and it opens these Forge files perfectly in an unjumbled format.
Thank you very much!
