replace_kern {textclean} | R Documentation |
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.
