Frequently asked questions
In what order are the steps applied?
Punctuation and numbers are removed first, then spaces are collapsed and lines are trimmed. After that empty lines and duplicate lines are removed, and finally the lines are joined if you chose that option.
Why use this instead of the single tools?
Messy text usually needs several fixes. This tool does them in one pass, so you do not have to paste the text into several tools.
