# Text Clean Up

MacJournal has several ways that you can clean up text in an entry. To use one, open the Format menu and then the Clean Up menu. If you have some text selected, the action will only apply to that selected text. Otherwise, all text in the entry will be modified at once.

- Change Case: Modify the case of the text to be uppercase (all capital letters), lowercase (all lowercase letters), or capitalized (just the first letter of each word capitalized).
- Discover Links: Look for anything that looks like a link (e.g. http://apple.com) and turn it into a clickable link.
- Multiple Spaces To Tab: Change instances of multiple spaces and replace them with a single tab.
- Multiple Spaces To Space: Change instances of multiple spaces and replace them with a single space.
- Remove Attachments: Remove any attachments in the text, such as images.
- Remove Checked Lines: Remove any lines in a checkbox list that are checked.
- Remove Duplicate Lines: Remove any lines that are followed by the exact same line.
- Remove E-Mail Quotes: Remove any '>' that show up at the start of a line.
- Remove HTML Tags: Remove text that looks like an HTML tag (e.g. <h1>).
- Remove Leading Spaces: Remove any whitespace that shows up at the start of a line.
- Remove Line Breaks: Remove any line breaks either entirely or replacing it with a space if the previous line did not end in whitespace.
- Remove Links: Remove any links in the text. This just applies to the "clickable" nature of the link; the text itself remains.
- Remove Styles: Remove any styling on the text, such as bolds and italics. This also applies to any font changes.
- Sort Lines: Sort the lines alphabetically.
