How do I copy WhatsApp chats and retain linebreaks
I am looking to copy many whatsapp chats into a document and retain the linebreaks. If I just copy them in, then there are no linebreaks. How do I do this? Thanks
Verbatim (alone) doesn't work because it means text flows off the page
Just using obeylines worked perfectly
line-breaking copy-paste

Welcome to TeX.SX! I think this isn't a LaTeX related question or could you explain the problem with latex?

@Bobyandbob I suspect the user wants just to keep line breaks asobeylinesor similar would do, but this question is rather unclear.

Can you add some examples of what your input text looks like? I mean the text you copied into your .tex document and are trying to typeset.

Put it into a verbatim environment. begin{verbatim} whatsapptext end{verbatim}.
EDIT:
So you don't want linebreak, except in all cases where lines that are longer than let's say 72 letters? Please provide an example as »MWE«. Probably the easiest way might be to use your editor's search and replace function:
Swap each end-of-line sign with a double backslass \. Then try instead of the verbatim environment the verse environment. However, it would be much easier if we had an MWE.

Wait, this actually doesn't work, because it means that the text flows off the page for some reason?
