### Remove HTML

Removes all HTML code (for example, `"<p>"`) from the description of an item. Most channels do not accept HTML code in listing descriptions (Marktplaats is an exception).

### Remove line breaks

Removes line breaks that can make a CSV file messy.

### Remove unnecessary whitespaces

Removes whitespaces that can affect the validity of your listing fields. For example, for product ID “   654  ”.
