Complete Guide to Text Conversion, Formatting & Cleaning

Work in a fixed order: strip formatting first, clean whitespace and line breaks second, then convert case last — converting before cleaning bakes stray spaces into the result.

Uppercase vs Lowercase vs Title Case

ALL CAPS reads roughly 10-15% slower because the uniform rectangle shape of capitalised words removes the ascender and descender pattern readers use to recognise them.

How to Clean Text Online

Whitespace problems come in three kinds: repeated spaces, trailing spaces at line ends, and hard line breaks inside paragraphs — each needs a different fix.

camelCase vs snake_case vs kebab-case

camelCase: JavaScript, Java and C# variables and methods. snake_case: Python, Ruby, Rust and SQL columns. kebab-case: URLs, CSS classes, HTML attributes and file names. PascalCase: classes, types and React components.

Base64 maps every three bytes onto four printable characters, which is why encoded data is about 33% larger than the original.
