Worth knowing
- Does it reverse the line order too? Yes. Because the whole text is reversed, the last line becomes the first.
- Is this mirror writing? Not exactly. The characters are put in reverse order but are not flipped visually.
- What is a palindrome? A word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, ignoring spaces and punctuation, such as “racecar” or “Never odd or even”.
- Works on any text column, not only Text Input's: pick it under Text column. Tick Generate New Column to keep the original next to the result.
