Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between trim each line and trim start of text?
- Trim each line removes spaces at both ends of every line. Trim start of text only removes whitespace at the very beginning of the whole block.
- Does collapse inner spaces affect line breaks?
- No. It only reduces runs of spaces and tabs within a line to a single space; line breaks are kept.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Trimming happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
