About the remove extra spaces
Runs of spaces and tabs inside a line become a single space, leading and trailing whitespace goes, and three or more blank lines collapse to one. Line breaks themselves are kept, because losing them is a different operation and rarely the one wanted.
This is the cleanup that text pasted out of a PDF, an email or a word processor almost always needs. Double spaces after full stops, non-breaking spaces and stray tabs are invisible until something downstream trips over them.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. Everything runs inside your browser. Nothing you paste or type is uploaded, stored or logged, and the page keeps working with the network disconnected.
- Does it join my lines together?
- No. Whitespace inside each line is collapsed and the line breaks stay where they are. If you want the text on one line, sort or join it afterwards.
- What happens to blank lines?
- Runs of three or more collapse to a single blank line, which keeps paragraph breaks intact. Switch on the option above to remove them completely.
- Are tabs and non-breaking spaces handled?
- Yes. Every kind of horizontal whitespace inside a line is treated the same and collapses to one ordinary space.
