Does this preserve paragraphs?

Does it remove invisible characters?
It handles common whitespace including non-breaking spaces. It does not remove zero-width characters or rewrite letters and punctuation.
Can I use this on code or tables?
Whitespace may be meaningful in code, fixed-width tables and poetry. Use the original file and avoid automatic spacing cleanup in those cases.
