func Dedent ¶

func Dedent(text string) string

Dedent removes leading whitespace indentation from each line in the text.

Whitespace is removed according to smallest whitespace prefix of a determining line. A determining line is a line that has at least 1 non-space character. The algorithm is:

- If the first line is whitespace, discard it. - If the last line is whitespace, discard it. - For each remaining line:

• If the line only has whitespace, replace it with a single newline.
• If the line has non-whitespace chars, find the common whitespace prefix of all such lines.

- Remove the common whitespace prefix from each line.
