Text Indent Formatter Guide
Overview
Text indent formatter helps normalize leading whitespace in multi-line text with indent add/remove, tab-space conversion, and real-time metrics, ideal for code cleanup, config fixes, and log preprocessing.
Core Features
- Four indentation operations: add indent, remove indent, tab to spaces, and spaces to tab.
- Three indent units: 2, 4, and 8 spaces for common coding conventions.
- Optional preserve-empty-lines and trim-trailing-whitespace controls.
- Instant output and stats updates as input or options change.
Use Cases
- Normalize indentation in shared code snippets before review or merge.
- Fix YAML, Python, and other indentation-sensitive script files.
- Clean logs and line-based text blocks for downstream processing.
- Migrate historical text content between tab-based and space-based formats.
How to Use
- Paste text in the left input panel, or click Sample to start quickly.
- Choose operation type, indent unit, and indent level.
- Toggle preserve empty lines and trim trailing whitespace as needed.
- Review output on the right, then copy or download.
FAQ
Does remove indent delete all spaces in a line?
No. It only adjusts leading indentation and keeps spaces inside the line content.
How does tab to spaces keep alignment?
Tabs are expanded by column position using the selected indent unit to avoid visual misalignment.
