Questions about text cleaner
- Why is my copied text full of odd breaks?
- A PDF or a web page often carries invisible characters and hard line wraps that break words apart. Cleaning removes both.
- What are zero-width characters?
- Characters that take up no space but break searching and sorting. They are invisible, which is exactly why they cause problems.
- Does it change the words?
- No, only invisible characters, whitespace, and blank-line runs are changed.
