Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does "multiple empty lines" mean?

Multiple empty lines refer to two or more consecutive lines that contain only whitespace (spaces, tabs) or are completely empty. Our tool will replace any sequence of multiple empty lines with a single empty line, helping to maintain proper spacing while removing excess whitespace.

Will this tool affect lines that contain actual content?

No, this tool only affects empty lines (lines with no content or only whitespace). Lines containing actual text, numbers, or any other content will remain completely unchanged. The tool preserves all your original content while only cleaning up the spacing.

Can I use this tool for code formatting?

Yes, this tool is excellent for code formatting! It can help clean up code files that have excessive blank lines while maintaining proper spacing for readability. However, for more advanced code formatting, you might want to use specialized code formatters for your programming language.

Is there a limit to the amount of text I can process?

While there's no strict limit, very large texts (over 100,000 lines) might take a moment to process. The tool is designed to handle most common use cases efficiently. If you're working with extremely large files, consider processing them in smaller chunks.

Does the tool preserve the original formatting of my text?

Yes, the tool preserves all original formatting including indentation, spacing within lines, and special characters. It only removes consecutive empty lines, leaving everything else exactly as it was in your original text.
