FAQ
Can I use double quotes instead of single quotes?
Yes. Use the custom preset in the multiline tool if your code style requires a different quote style.
Does it remove empty lines?
Yes. Keep skip-empty enabled so blank rows do not become empty string values in the list.
Can I switch to CSV or SQL without re-pasting?
Yes. The same multiline page lets you switch between Python, JavaScript, CSV, and SQL presets using the same input.
