About this whitespace remover
Double spaces, stray tabs and runs of blank lines creep in when text is copied between apps, exported from spreadsheets or typed in a hurry. This tool cleans them up with a set of simple switches, so you can tidy text for a document, a form, a CMS or a data import.
It also treats non-breaking spaces — invisible characters common in text copied from web pages — as spaces, which fixes a lot of mysterious formatting problems.
