Subject: Two spaces after end of sentences.
Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2024 00:55:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bQtejDZop7XetHfTkFXljsor-4pL_qd1F9ufpXfTSsXDizvJfZNxpTqUld4pe1n814awCYSJGHY5jVkaE-7RD9_M_8N4zhOlwneAA_OBHtQ=@protonmail.com> (raw)
I want to have two spaces after end of sentences. But only if the next
letter in a capital. But when I tried this implementation, spaces were
introduces even when the next letter was miniscule.
(defun montej ()
"Ensure that there are two spaces after every period in the
current paragraph."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
;; Determine the start and end of the current paragraph
(let ( (start (save-excursion (backward-paragraph) (point)))
(end (save-excursion (forward-paragraph) (point))) )
;; Move to the start of the paragraph
(goto-char start)
;; Find period followed by fewer than two spaces
(while (re-search-forward
"\\([.!?]\\) \\{0,1\\}\\([A-Z]\\)" end t)
;; Replace with a period followed by two spaces
(replace-match "\\1 \\2")))))
