Common errors
Lost intentional breaks
If you need paragraphs, keep double line breaks and remove single ones only. Use the blank-line setting to preserve sections.
Extra spaces
Multiple spaces can appear after merging. Trim whitespace or run the whitespace remover.
Tips and proven approaches
- Combine with the plain text converter to strip HTML before cleaning.
- After merging, use the sentence counter to verify lengths.
