Remove Extra Spaces

Collapse repeated spaces and tabs down to a single space.

Collapses runs of two or more spaces down to a single space, which is what turns text pasted from a PDF or a spreadsheet back into something readable. It never touches line breaks, so the structure of the document is preserved.

Options

Treat tabs as spaces so mixed runs collapse too.

Removes the space at the start and end of every line.
