Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Not handling tabs

Solution: This removes spaces, not tabs. Use "remove all whitespace" or convert tabs first if needed.

⚠️

Breaking intentional spacing

Solution: Code indentation and ASCII art use multiple spaces intentionally. Don't apply to these formats.

⚠️

Missing leading/trailing spaces

Solution: Extra spaces at line start/end may need separate trim operation. Check tool behavior.
