# [Strip Whitespace Lines](//packagecontrol.io/packages/Strip%20Whitespace%20Lines)

This plugin is an alternative to the default option `trim_trailing_white_space_on_save` which removes any trailing whitespace when the user saves a file.  
Instead of removing whitespace everywhere, this plugin only removes whitespace where the _whole line_ is entirely consistant of whitespace.

You can enable this through the preferences (or syntax-specific) like so:
```json
{
	"strip_whitespace_lines_on_save": true,
}
```
