Frequently Asked Questions

Does this remove numbered lists too?

It targets bullet symbols like -, *, and dots. For numbered lists, use Remove Markdown Formatting.

Will line breaks be preserved?

Yes. The list stays line-by-line unless you enable "Remove All Line Breaks."

Does it remove indentation as well?

It removes the bullet marker and leading spaces in front of it. Use Remove Indentation if you want to strip all leading whitespace.

Can I clean multiple bullet styles at once?

Yes. It removes common bullet symbols and list markers in a single pass.

Will it remove a dash in the middle of a line?

No. Only leading bullet markers are removed.
