About the Invoice Description Formatter

Line descriptions pasted from a timesheet, a quote, a stock system and an email end up looking like four different people wrote the invoice, which on some level they did. ALL CAPS from one system, lower case from another, double spaces, trailing punctuation, internal abbreviations and a description that runs to three lines.

This tidies them consistently. Choose sentence case or title case and every line follows it, with acronyms such as SEO, VAT and API kept in capitals. Whitespace and trailing punctuation are cleaned. Common abbreviations — hrs, qty, approx, mtg, dev — are expanded, so the description reads to a stranger. Long lines are shortened at a word boundary to a length that fits a table column.

Paste a whole list and every line comes back in the same style, ready to paste into an invoice. The changes made to each line are listed, so nothing is altered without you seeing it.
