Getting started
Paste a passage and compare it with the preview. If each paragraph ends with punctuation but lacks a blank line, enable sentence-ending breaks. Check compound words before removing printed hyphens.
Before you use the result
Paste plain text, up to 200,000 UTF-16 units. Multi-column reading order, tables, indentation and scanned pages require separate handling. Removing visible hyphens can change real compounds such as well-known.
Try an example
Two copied lines ending in “public” and starting with “library” become “public library”. An empty line before the next paragraph is preserved.
How it works
The browser trims line edges, joins most lines with spaces and joins adjacent Chinese or Japanese characters directly. A blank line starts a paragraph. A bullet or numbered marker followed by a space starts a new line.
