This template is for trimming whitespace from strings. For the maintenance tag for images, see {{trimming}}

This template trims whitespace from a string. The string should be passed as the first unnamed parameter. You may substitute this template - that is, if used as {{subst:trim}}, the resulting wikicode is "clean".

Usage

{{trim|text}} = text with any leading or trailing whitespace removed.

Example

• "{{trim| abc}}" produces "abc"
