I see no way in B36 to remove blank lines in bulk, either in the manuscript or as a compile operation.
Am I missing something?
Have you tried Edit->Text Tidying? Also, what about the “remove trailing whitespace from documents” in the compile window (right side, under the gear icon)?
Yes I have. Edit->Text Tidying->Remove Empty Lines Between Paragraphs works on only one document at a time, and by ‘bulk’ I meant multiple docs, or ideally the whole manuscript.
I have tried the trailing space option too but this only removes blank lines at the end of a doc, not within (as the name of the option implies).
Text tidying should work on all documents loaded to the editor. This may be a bug.
Text tidying appears to only remove blank lines from the document in which the cursor currently is, rather than all docs loaded in the editor.
