FAQ

What is whitespace?

Whitespace is any character that is used for spacing, like spaces, tabs, and line breaks. These characters are usually invisible but can affect how text is formatted.

Will this tool remove all spaces from my text?

No, it only removes *extra* whitespace. It will turn multiple spaces between words into a single space, but it will not remove the single spaces that separate words.

What is the difference between removing empty lines and normalizing line breaks?

Removing empty lines deletes any line that has no text. Normalizing line breaks makes sure that all line endings in your text use the same format. This is good for making text work the same on different operating systems.
