How Indentation Management Works
The tool parses text line by line and analyzes leading whitespace characters.
Indentation is adjusted by adding, removing, or converting spaces and tabs based on the selected mode.
The space size setting (2, 4, or 8) determines how many spaces equal one indentation level.
Empty lines are preserved unchanged to maintain document structure.
