The Problem
You have been running a Typo blog [since 2005][since], but you still can’t
quite get your Apache configuration right. In particular, you still get the

The Problem
You have built a home server slash PVR that you want to hook up to your
twenty-year-old television. You have gone to several shops to buy
a graphics card that actually has open-source drivers for
its TV output functionality (i.e., the ATI Radeon A9250). You have dodged
salesmen trying to sell you something else (“No, but here is its successor
the NVidia so-and-so.” “Uhm, no thanks.”). You finally succeeded by ordering
it over the Interweb (and probably should have done that in the first
place). Now you want to patch the driver shipped by Ubuntu to actually get
TV output working.

The problem
You created a macro package for LaTeX and promised that people could write either
\synttree[a label]
or
\synttree[a label]
and the result would be the same. Now your buggy macro for trimming spaces stands in the way of a much needed bug fix.
In short, you need a macro \trim
that will trim (The name says it all, doesn’t it?) spaces off of its argument’s beginning and end.
