- trim
valueThe literal string to trim from both ends, repeated occurrences of the whole string. This is not a set of characters: trimming
abstrips the sequenceab, notaandbseparately. Leave empty to trim whitespace
- value
value
With value_1 empty, trims Unicode whitespace from BOTH ends. Otherwise value_1 is treated as ONE literal string, and repeated occurrences of that WHOLE string are stripped from both ends -- it is NOT a set of characters. Example: value_0="ababXab" value_1="ab" -> "X". Nothing is removed from the middle; empty input outputs "".
A typical wiring for trim: convert to lowercase feeds the value_0 pin; the value out pin feeds is not empty.

- convert to lowercase: wired in both directions with this block.
- is not empty: this block feeds into it. checks if the value is filled (not empty).
- set fields: this block feeds into it. Generates an array of mutations based on the given filled fields.
- remove special chars: this block feeds into it. Returns the value with accents stripped. Only combining diacritical marks are removed - punctuation and symbols are kept.
- ==: this block feeds into it. returns true if the two values are equal.
