What do you mean, exactly, by line endings in ASCII format?

In the ASCII world there are different conventions for line/paragraph
separators.  For example, Mac OS X (and most OSes in the Unix family)
use the Line Feed character (ASCII 10), MS Windows uses the
CR+LF (13+10) combination, classic Mac OS used CR only.
Perhaps you mean converting between these conventions?

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
