Replace Kerned (Spaced) with No Space Version
Description
In typography kerning is the adjustment of spacing. Often, in informal writing, adding manual spaces (a form of kerning) coupled with all capital letters is used for emphasis. This tool looks for 3 or more consecutive capital letters with spaces in between and removes the spaces. Essentially, the capitalized, kerned version is replaced with the word equivalent.
Usage
replace_kern(x, ...)
Arguments
x |
The text variable. |
... |
ignored. |
Value
Returns a vector with kern spaces removed.
