title: Remove, using jQuery, the first newline of a long text
body: <p>Because of a small system error I am receiving long texts with a newline in the beginning of the texts. Is there a way to remove just this newline? <code>$.trim()</code> is removing other white spaces, which is not my intention. I want to remove only the first newline and keep all whitespaces intact.</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>For example:</em></strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>         &lt;------ remove this new line
