Doc clarification for working with CSV files

Hey guys, please clarify the following points on working with imported CSV files (Text/CSV Data Format)

- Does Sierra need CRLF or LF line separators? (I know Sierra is Windows software, so CRLF should be assumed, but my data pipeline may be Linux-based so any text files created may have LF line separators)
- Does Sierra need a blank new line at the end of the CSV to signal an End of File?

Thank you!

The end of line terminator needs to be either a carriage return line feed (CRLF), or just a line feed (LF). Either one will work.

There does not need to be a blank line at the end, but the final line should have a terminator at the end. Not sure what would happen if it does not. It probably would be an issue if not.
