Limits and Important Notes
How Empty Lines Are Removed
The browser splits the input wherever it finds a newline. For each row, it temporarily removes surrounding whitespace to test whether any visible content remains.
Rows with no remaining content are discarded. Every retained original row is joined into the output with a newline.
Formula
Keep line when line.trim() is not empty
Example
If the input contains “Alpha”, two blank rows, and “Beta”, the result contains two adjacent rows: “Alpha” followed by “Beta”.
- All empty lines are removed; there is no option to keep one blank line between sections.
- Spaces on non-empty lines are preserved rather than trimmed.
- Line endings are normalized to newline characters in the result.
