What the Remove Line Breaks does
Remove Line Breaks: calculates Output from Text, Line breaks and Join with. Example: join with Space gives output This paragraph was pasted from a PDF, so every line ends early. A second paragraph follows here..
Supply Text, Line breaks and Join with and you get Output back. Edit a field and the answer updates in place.
Typical users are writers cleaning up a draft. Consistent formatting is the difference between a draft and something publishable.
The page holds your values in memory and forgets them the moment you close it.
The rest of this page documents each field, the method, and a worked example built from the values the remove line breaks loads by default.
What do the Remove Line Breaks fields mean?
The Remove Line Breaks uses 3 inputs. You can work from the defaults, or clear them and start fresh, both work.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Text | paste or type any amount of text | This paragraph was pasted from a PDF, so every line ends early. A second paragraph follows here. |
| Line breaks | choose from Join lines, keep paragraphs (blank line = new paragraph), Remove every line break or One sentence per line | Join lines, keep paragraphs (blank line = new paragraph) |
| Join with | choose from Space, Nothing or Comma and space | Space |
How does the Remove Line Breaks 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.
Range checks come first, so the formula only ever sees values it can handle.
Worked example
These are the values the Remove Line Breaks loads by default, and the result it produces from them. Here is the calculation as it stands the moment the page loads.

|---|---|
| Line breaks | Join lines, keep paragraphs (blank line = new paragraph) |
| Join with | Space |
| Output | This paragraph was pasted from a PDF, so every line ends early. A second paragraph follows here. |
