Functions

func Dedent

func Dedent(s string) string

Dedent removes a common indent from all lines in a string. It allows writing multi-line strings in a more readable way. For example:

const s = text.Dedent(`
	foo
	  bar
	baz
`)

The result is:

foo
  bar
baz

The common indent is the number of leading spaces in the first non-empty line. If a line does not have the common prefix, it is reproduced as is, except for the last line, which is ignored if it is blank.
