Clean My TextThe Issue: Double Line Breaks
You copy a perfectly formatted document. You paste it into Gmail or Outlook. Suddenly, every paragraph has huge gaps between them, and single line breaks turn into double spacing.
Line two (why is there a gap?)
Line three.
Why Does Formatting Break?
It's usually a conflict between "Hard Returns" (HTML `<br>`) and "Paragraphs" (`<p>`).
- Mixed Formatting: Source definitions like "10pt space after paragraph" get converted into literal blank lines when pasting into some editors.
- Hidden Breaks: PDFs often put a line break at the end of every visual line, breaking your paragraphs into jagged sentence fragments.
