 <p>The function accepts the following parameters:
 <code>reduce_multiples(string: text to search in, string: character to reduce, boolean: whether to remove the character from the front and end of the string)</code>
 
-The first parameter contrains the string in which you want to reduce the multiplies. The second parameter contains the character you want to have reduced.
-The third parameter is False by default. If it it's to true it will remove occurences of the character at the beginning and the end of the string. Example:
