The Autoquote.py script detects typewriter quotes, then deletes them and replaces them with typographic quotes.
The en+emdash.py script detects hyphens. A single one is left alone. Two in a row change to an en dash, 3 in a row to an em dash. So spaces could certainly be deleted, you just have to figure out the algorithm for deciding which ones to delete, 2 in a row, something else? Greg
