Only repeated empty rows at the end are considered the end of the data.<\/li>\n<li>Properly handle all read operations on internal-use text files e.g. proj, css etc. Can cope with a utf-8 BOM (only) to cope with Windows Notepad editing. Breaks if other encodings used which is fair enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you like the latest version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several ways of doing box plots.
