	"\" would be a problem for string literals, but shouldn't matter for
text read from an external file.

	<SNIP>

	Seems rather complex to be working with individual lines. I'd probably
start with the standard library textwrap module, though you may need to add
some detection for indented lines to be handled special.

	Compare

"""
mport textwrap

with open("Example.txt", "r") as fin:
    with open("Output.txt", "w") as fout:
        paragraph = []

                paragraph = " ".join(paragraph)

You can activate Windows 10 using the product key for your hardware which
is embedded in the BIOS in an ACPI table called MSDM (Microsoft Data
Management). You can get it like this (from Linux, of course!):

$ sudo tail -c +56 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM
ABA2D-TEFJ4-D97PT-9B42Y-H3U5E

You can apply the OEM Windows license to a VirtualBox guest like this (from
the Linux host - assuming VM is called win10):

$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM > ~/VirtualBox\
VMs/win10/msdm.bin
$ VBoxManage setextradata win10 \
               "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/CustomTable" \
               ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/win10/msdm.bin

With that in place, Windows will not ask for a product key during
installation, it will activate automatically. If you want to verify that it
does indeed use the correct key you can use a tool like ShowKeyPlus to
check it. You can read about ShowKeyPlus on TenForums or download it here.
