Paragraph Re-wrapper & De-hyphen: Removes soft hyphenation (`para- \n graph` -> `paragraph`) and joins broken lines into continuous paragraphs.
About this paragraph re-wrapper & de-hyphen
Paragraph Re-wrapper & De-hyphen — browser-based utility.
How this tool works
Implements client-side Paragraph Re-wrapper & De-hyphen operations. Removes soft hyphenation (`para- \n graph` -> `paragraph`) and joins broken lines into continuous paragraphs specifically designed for a book digitizer removes hard line breaks and hyphenated line endings from scanned pdf text.
- Invisible Codepoint Detection: Scans character codepoint ranges against Unicode formatting categories (Cf, Cc), highlighting hidden characters.
- Unicode Normalization: Applies selected normalization form (NFC canonical composition, NFD decomposition, NFKC/NFKD compatibility).
- Pangu Spacing Heuristics: Evaluates character-pair boundaries via regex lookaheads, injecting half-width spaces between CJK ideographs and alphanumeric ASCII.
- Whitespace Collapsing: Cleans repeated spaces, trailing line spaces, and redundant blank lines according to user settings.
Worked example
Scenario: A book digitizer removes hard line breaks and hyphenated line endings from scanned PDF text.
Sample input:
Processing: Removes soft hyphenation (`para- \n graph` -> `paragraph`) and joins broken lines into continuous paragraphs.

Limits and verification
Does not alter intentional whitespace within code blocks when code-preservation mode is selected. Carefully preserves directional formatting markers (RLM/LRM) when bi-directional Arabic/Hebrew text is explicitly preserved.
Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.
Browser processing boundary
Tool input is processed by code running in the browser and is not intentionally sent to a CZOA processing API. The page can still request ordinary site assets, analytics, or advertising when those services are enabled. Browser extensions and managed-device software remain outside this tool's control.

Frequently asked questions
How does Paragraph Rewrapper detect paragraphs?+
It splits input at a newline followed by optional whitespace and another newline. Each resulting paragraph is normalized separately and paragraphs are joined with one blank line.
What did the browser fixture verify?+
alpha followed by a hyphen and newline then beta became alphabeta, while a separate spaced paragraph became gamma delta.
What changes inside a paragraph?+
It removes literal hyphen-plus-newline pairs, collapses remaining whitespace runs to one space, and trims the result. This can change intentional spacing.
Does it preserve all line-break semantics?+
No. It does not parse Markdown, code, lists, language hyphenation rules, or hard-break markup. Use it only when those source distinctions are not needed.
