Annotated input

Highlighted labels show unusual or transformed characters at their original positions.

Clean spacing without flattening the document

The preset converts Unicode spaces, changes tabs to spaces, collapses repeated horizontal whitespace and removes spaces at line endings. Paragraph breaks remain available for readable output.

For source code, use the narrower trailing-whitespace option because indentation can be meaningful.

FAQ

Questions about Whitespace Cleaner

Does it remove new lines?

No. Horizontal whitespace and line-break normalization are separate options.

Is it safe for source code?

Collapsing spaces is not safe for indentation-sensitive code. Use trailing-whitespace cleanup alone for code.

Does it handle tabs?

The full whitespace preset converts tab runs into regular spaces.
