Whitespace Utilities documentation

Trim edges, remove duplicates, and control blank lines with diff-ready outputs.

Overview

Use it when the format needs to change, not the meaning

Use Whitespace Utilities when text needs cleanup without changing the actual words.

Trim or normalize copy before publication.

List cleanup

Remove duplicate or empty lines before you paste elsewhere.

Supported inputs

Bring clean source text and keep the direction straight

Walk through it

Follow the same sequence you see in the tool

Workflow

Clean whitespace

Use the main form when you want a text block cleaned up.

  1. Paste the text.
  2. Choose the whitespace options you want.
  3. Run the tool and copy the cleaned result.

What you get

Check the result before you copy it into the next step

Trimmed text

The result removes the whitespace you no longer want.

Clean copy block

The output is ready to paste into the next step.

Avoid these mistakes

Small input problems create the biggest conversion errors

Too much cleanup

Check that you did not remove whitespace you needed.

Ignoring blank lines

Pick the blank-line option that matches your goal.
