How to call AvalonEdit Methods/Commands?

I am looking into the documentation of AvalonEdit - http://avalonedit.net/documentation/, Which contains all sorts of useful functionalities and method calls.

I am not sure how to call and apply them. An example could be

public static readonly RoutedCommand RemoveLeadingWhitespace

And I am not sure how to execute it, so it removes the trailing whitespace in my text editor instance.

I've tried with

avalonEditInstance.RemoveTrailingWhitespace();

The return type of the method is RoutedCommand, so I also tried.

RoutedCommand routedCommand = AvalonEditCommands.RemoveTrailingWhitespace;
routedCommand.Execute(avalonEditInstance,avalonEditInstance);

What is the correct way of calling these methods, as I didn't find it in their documentation?

You need to execute commands on avalonEditInstance.TextArea

RoutedCommand routedCommand = AvalonEditCommands.RemoveTrailingWhitespace;
routedCommand.Execute(null, avalonEditInstance.TextArea);

It's generally the TextArea control that gets focussed and is doing all the command-handling.
