Frequently Asked Questions
Why clean copied text?
When you copy text from PDFs or Word Docs, hidden characters, tabs, and non-breaking spaces come with it, heavily corrupting display behavior in web forms or CMS text editors.
What does 'Strip HTML' mean?
It means removing all angle-bracket formatting tags (like <b>, <span>, or </a>) to extract pure plaintext. This is a common sanitization step to prevent formatting overlaps.
What is trailing whitespace?
Trailing whitespace defines invisible spaces or tabs left at the very end of a line or paragraph. These often break layout calculations or create unreadable git diffs.
Can I use it to format CSV data?
Yes, trimming whitespace and blank lines is usually step 1 to repairing broken CSV or Excel data sets before database migration.
Is this tool fast enough for books?
Yes. Due to client-side Regex processing, the text cleaner can handle thousands of pages of raw text string parsing in mere milliseconds.
