How this line counter works
The tool normalises common newline formats, counts total lines, then separates non-empty and blank lines using the selected blank-line rules.
Total vs non-empty lines
Total lines count every line in the text. Non-empty lines have visible content after optional trimming, while blank lines do not.
What this tool does not include
This is not a code analyser, log parser, diff tool or spreadsheet row validator.
