How this tool works
Runs of spaces, tabs and non-breaking spaces become one ordinary space. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed from each line. Existing line breaks stay in place.
Input and output stay in the current page. Refreshing or closing the page clears them. For very large inputs, use Run to start processing; a task that takes too long is stopped so you can change the input.
Frequently asked questions
