How to use
Paste wrapped text and join likely split words. The safer default joins only when the next line starts with a lowercase letter; the broader option joins any letter pair.
Example
Input
This docu-
ment keeps in-line hyphens.
Output
This document keeps in-line hyphens.
Limitations
A line-end hyphen may be intentional, so every result needs review. The lowercase heuristic can miss proper names or scripts without case, while all-letter mode can over-join.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will in-line terms such as “well-known” change?
No. A hyphen is considered only when it is directly followed by a line break and the next line begins with a letter.
Which mode should I use for Arabic or uncased scripts?
Use All letter pairs, because the lowercase-continuation heuristic is intended for scripts with letter case.
