# whitespace_normalizer

`whitespace_normalizer` is a Python package designed to clean and standardize whitespace within text. It collapses multiple spaces and tabs into single spaces on each line, trims trailing whitespace, and removes entirely blank lines.

## Installation

To install `whitespace_normalizer`, use pip:

```bash
pip install whitespace_normalizer
```

## Usage

Using `whitespace_normalizer` is straightforward. Import the `normalize_whitespace` function and pass your string to it.

```python
from whitespace_normalizer import normalize_whitespace

text_with_messy_whitespace = """
This is a   string   with
extra     spaces.

And some
trailing whitespace.   
"""

cleaned_text = normalize_whitespace(text_with_messy_whitespace)
print(cleaned_text)
```

This will output:

```
This is a string with
extra spaces.
And some
trailing whitespace.
```

## Features

- Collapses consecutive spaces and tabs into a single space per line.
- Removes trailing whitespace from each line.
- Eliminates empty lines from the text.
