NameDescription
TRIMTrailing spaces are trimmed.
PRESERVETrailing spaces are preserved.

Examples

Shows how to trim whitespace when loading plaintext documents.

# to modify how we load a plaintext document.
load_options = aw.loading.TxtLoadOptions()
# Set the "leading_spaces_options" property to "TxtLeadingSpacesOptions.PRESERVE"
# to preserve all whitespace characters at the start of every line.
# Set the "leading_spaces_options" property to "TxtLeadingSpacesOptions.CONVERT_TO_INDENT"
# to remove all whitespace characters from the start of every line,
# and then apply a left first line indent to the paragraph to simulate the effect of the whitespaces.
# Set the "leading_spaces_options" property to "TxtLeadingSpacesOptions.TRIM"
# to remove all whitespace characters from every line's start.
