    Other mode accepts any text, such as a pipe or slash between merged lines.

Sources & References

Authoritative references on newline character handling, paragraph detection, and JavaScript array join methods this line break remover uses.
  • Split text on newline characters produces an array of lines. Joining array elements with a separator string replaces the original line breaks with the chosen delimiter.

    Newline characters and text joining: The tool splits text by newline characters, then joins the resulting array with the user-selected separator (nothing, whitespace, comma, or custom text) to merge lines. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/join

  • In plain text, paragraphs are typically separated by one or more blank lines (consecutive newline characters). Detecting double newlines preserves paragraph structure during line break removal.
    Various — Plain text formatting standards

    Paragraph boundary detection: In preserve paragraphs mode, the tool detects blocks separated by two or more consecutive newlines. Single newlines inside each block are replaced by the separator, while paragraph boundaries are kept. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragraph

  • Cross-platform text handling requires normalizing CRLF (Windows) to LF (Unix) before processing to avoid double-line-break artifacts in the output.
    Wikipedia — Newline

    Line ending normalization: Before detecting paragraph boundaries or joining lines, all input is normalized by converting Windows CRLF to Unix LF, ensuring consistent behavior across text sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline
