<!-- sorted by importance. Printed 3 times: trim, ltrim, rtrim -->
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>
" " (<acronym>ASCII</acronym> <literal>32</literal>
(<literal>0x20</literal>)), an ordinary space.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"\t" (<acronym>ASCII</acronym> <literal>9</literal>
(<literal>0x09</literal>)), a tab.

<listitem>
<simpara>

</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"\r" (<acronym>ASCII</acronym> <literal>13</literal>

</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
"\0" (<acronym>ASCII</acronym> <literal>0</literal>
(<literal>0x00</literal>)), the <literal>NUL</literal>-byte.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara> <!-- not \v, since not supported by PHP -->
"\x0B" (<acronym>ASCII</acronym> <literal>11</literal>
(<literal>0x0B</literal>)), a vertical tab.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
You can also specify the characters you want to strip, by means
of the <parameter>charlist</parameter> parameter.
Simply list all characters that you want to be stripped. With
<literal>..</literal> you can specify a range of characters.
