Day 20: Not a Dedent! 🚧

I tried to write a really funny joke about a dedent, but it just didn’t indent well 🥁 While my sense of humour is beyond fixing, extra identation can easily be stripped with dedent.

Let's install it e.g. with deno add npm:dedent, create a file, e.g. main.ts and try out:

import d from 'dedent'

console.log(d`
    What do you call a Christmas tree that’s lost its way?
        ...A mistletoe!
    `)

Run with e.g. deno run -A ./main.ts and enjoy perfectly aligned lines:

deno run -A ./main.ts
#What do you call a Christmas tree that’s lost its way?
#    ...A mistletoe!

Extra padding? Gone.
Bad taste and formatting: preserved👌

Any ideas what dedent could help you with? Share in the comments!
