How to use it
Paste text and run the tool to remove leading and trailing whitespace from every line. Spaces and tabs inside a line are unchanged; original LF, CRLF or CR line breaks and a final line break are preserved. Trimming can change code indentation.
Limits
Indentation is meaningful in some code and data formats; inspect the result before using it.
