Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different left and right wrapper text?

Yes! The left and right text fields are independent, so you can add completely different text on each side. For example, you could add <b> on the left and </b> on the right to create bold HTML tags around each item.

What delimiter formats are supported?

You can use literal characters like newlines (\n), commas, or tabs. For more complex patterns, switch to regex mode and provide a regular expression to match your item separators.
