Whitespace Reference

A concise reference for developer text workflows.

Whitespace is contextual

Whitespace can separate tokens, represent indentation, align text, or simply be accidental formatting.

Trim

JavaScript trim() removes recognized whitespace at both ends of a string. TinyDevTools applies it independently to each line in the Trim Whitespace tool.

Blank lines

Remove Empty Lines uses trim() only to decide whether a line has visible content. It leaves non-empty lines unchanged.

Duplicate comparison

Duplicate tools use exact line strings. Whitespace differences therefore produce different keys unless you normalize first.
