About the Remove Empty Lines
Lines containing only spaces or tabs count as empty, which is what you want - those are the ones that survive a naive copy and paste.
Keeping a single blank line between blocks preserves paragraph structure while removing the accidental triple spacing that comes from pasting between editors.
