What the Remove Indent does
Remove Indent: calculates Unindented from Text.
Give the Remove Indent your Text and it works out Unindented. Change any input and the output follows immediately.
Small formatting chores add up; automating them saves real time. That is usually what brings someone tidying data pulled out of a PDF here.
This runs client-side, which means we never receive what you enter and could not retrieve it if asked.
The field table, the method and a worked example are documented after the tool for anyone who wants to check the working.
What do the Remove Indent fields mean?
The Remove Indent uses 1 input. None of the boxes start empty. The page loads with a worked set of values you can edit or replace.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Text | paste or type any amount of text | indented tabbed |
How does the Remove Indent work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
Bad input produces a message, not a silently incorrect figure.
Worked example
These are the values the Remove Indent loads by default, and the result it produces from them. Open the tool above and you will find precisely these figures already in place.
| Text | indented tabbed |
|---|
| Unindented | indented tabbed |
|---|
How to use it
- Paste your content into Text.
- Skip the submit button; there is not one. Editing is enough.
- Check Unindented on the right.
- Use Copy Link if you want the same setup again later, or Print for a paper copy.
What this tool does not do
- Word and character definitions vary between tools: this one counts whitespace-separated tokens.
- No allowance is made for local rules, regional variations or house conventions.
Frequently asked questions
The form asks for Text. Each field is pre-filled with a sensible default, so the form is usable immediately, without filling anything in first.
With the values loaded when the page opens, unindented comes out as indented tabbed. Nudge one field at a time to see which one the answer is most sensitive to.
No. The work runs in JavaScript inside this page, so your values never leave your device. You can confirm it in your browser network tab.
