- 2. Blank and whitespace-only lines are removed.

What counts as empty
A line is removed if it has nothing on it or only whitespace — spaces, tabs or non-breaking spaces. Every other line is left exactly as it was, including spaces at the start, so indentation survives. Unlike Text Cleaner, which keeps one blank line between paragraphs, this removes them all, giving one solid block of lines — the shape most spreadsheets and import forms expect.
