Frequently asked questions

Can I join wrapped lines without losing paragraphs?

Yes. Join wrapped lines replaces single line breaks with spaces while retaining runs of blank lines as paragraph separators. The one-line mode replaces every line break with a space instead.

Are paragraph breaks preserved?

Choose to preserve every blank line, compact consecutive blank lines to one paragraph break, or remove all blank lines.

How are tabs handled?

Tabs can be preserved or converted using one, two, four, or eight-column tab stops. Turn off tab-stop alignment when every tab should become the same fixed number of spaces.

What does Normalize Unicode spaces change?

It converts common non-breaking, thin, em, ideographic, and other Unicode spacing characters into regular spaces before the selected cleanup rules run.

Which zero-width characters are removed?

The copy-artifact option removes zero-width space, word joiner, and byte-order mark characters. It deliberately preserves zero-width joiners and non-joiners because they can be meaningful in emoji and writing systems.

Can I preserve indentation but remove trailing spaces?

Yes. Line-start and line-end trimming are independent. The Preserve code indentation setup keeps leading indentation and tabs while removing trailing whitespace.

Which line ending is downloaded?

Choose LF for Unix, web, and most developer workflows, or CRLF for Windows-oriented text files. The setting applies to any line or paragraph breaks that remain.
