Choose the spacing controls
- Trim leading spaces: Trims spaces at the beginnings of lines. This option is checked by default.

Confirmed scope and limitations
The confirmed controls cover leading spaces, trailing spaces, and optional inner-space collapsing. The page supports multiline text, but the local source does not establish accepted upload formats or file-size limits.
The page does not specify how tabs, non-breaking spaces, or other whitespace characters are handled. It also does not establish a definitive privacy or network-processing guarantee.
