how to assign this new style for all new/opened txt files?

currently npp doesn’t support a udl to be the default language so you need to tweak it
like stated here.
If it is only about already created files you can of course assign an file extension to the
udl, see udl dialog Ext field.

q3: is it really needed? I thought multiline is the default behavior. If you still need
to define eol, here is described how.
