Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Replace every consecutive whitespace sequence with a single ordinary space, then trim leading and trailing whitespace. The operation includes spaces, tabs and line breaks.
The input “ one two ” becomes “one two”. A line break between words is also converted to one space.
What to keep in mind
All paragraph and line boundaries are flattened. This is intended for plain text cleanup, not code, poetry or documents whose whitespace carries meaning.
Common questions
Will it preserve paragraphs?
No. Line breaks are included in the whitespace being collapsed. Keep a copy of the original if the layout matters.
Does it remove punctuation or duplicate words?
No. Non-whitespace characters are preserved. Only whitespace sequences and surrounding whitespace change.
