Glossary
Blank line
A line with no actual content. This verkfæri can optionally treat whitespace-only lines as blank lines too.
Consecutive newlines
In practice, this means a run of blank lines. A single line break inside normal text is not the main target.
LF / CRLF
Two common line-ending formats. LF is typical on the web and Unix-like kerfis, while CRLF is common in Windows editors.
Algengar spurningar
Does it remove every line break?
No. By default it keeps single line breaks and collapses only repeated blank lines. If you choose Remove blank lines, it removes empty lines while keeping normal line separation between content lines.
Can it treat space-only lines as blank lines?
Yes. It is enabled by default. Lines that contain only spaces, tabs, NBSP, or full-width spaces can be compressed as blank lines.
Can it trim blank lines at the start and end?
Yes. In advanced options, switch Leading/trailing blank lines between Trim and Keep.
Can I úttak CRLF for Windows verkfæris?
Yes. Change Úttak line ending from LF to CRLF in advanced options.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The transformation happens entirely in your browser, and the verkfæri does not send your text to a server.
Athugasemdir
- This verkfæri does not reflæði paragraphs or join single line breaks into sentences. It is intentionally focused on blank-line cleanup.
- If Treat whitespace-only lines as blank is off, lines containing only spaces or tabs remain untouched.
- If Trim trailing spaces is off, invisible end-of-line spacing may remain in the úttak.
