Check a headline

03 Edges
If it breaks
One concrete edge case per step.
- Case Converter: A run of punctuation with no letters, such as “——” or “ ”, has nothing to convert; the tool says so instead of returning an empty row.
- Word Counter: Empty text shows “Add some text to count.” rather than a row of zeros, so a blank headline is obvious before you copy the numbers.
