Frequently Asked Questions

An empty line is a line with no characters. A whitespace-only line contains only spaces, tabs, or other whitespace characters. By default, this tool removes both types.
When enabled (default), it removes lines that contain only spaces or tabs. When disabled, it only removes completely empty lines (no characters at all). This is useful if you want to keep intentional spacing.
Enable this if you want to remove leading and trailing spaces from all remaining lines. This is useful for cleaning pasted text, but keep it off if your indentation or spacing matters (like in code).
