API
stripIndent(string)
Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string.
The line with the least number of leading whitespace, ignoring empty lines, determines the number to remove.
dedent(string)
Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string and remove surrounding blank lines.
Like stripIndent(), but also removes leading and trailing lines that contain only whitespace. Useful for template literals and multi-line strings where you want clean boundaries.

`);
