Frequently asked questions
Will it change indentation in code?
It will, because leading spaces are removed when trimming is enabled. Disable trimming when cleaning source code.
What about non-breaking spaces?
They are normalised to regular spaces when “Include non-breaking spaces” is enabled, which fixes copy-pasted web content.
