trim text

About this rule

Trims any whitespace from start and/or end of text.

trim text (where)

Examples

To trim white space from the start and end of the input text:

R> ^^ "    Hello, World!    "
R> trim text
#  "Hello, World!"

To trim white space from the end of each paragraph:

split paragraphs, apply to list (trim text (end)), join text ({$return})

(Tip: a shorter, quicker way to trim paragraph endings is to use trim pattern ("\s+$"), but either way will work.)
