Vowels Filter

Description

One-letter conjunctions and prepositions (a, i, u, w, etc.) may remain at the end of the line in continuous text, while in book titles and their chapters they should be moved to the next line.

This principle is generally known. If a one-letter conjunction or preposition (i.e. so-called orphan, pendant, or hanging conjunction), type a, i, u, w, etc., appears at the end of a line. - It is better to move it to the next line. Leaving such words at the end of the line is not a mistake, but in practice it has been accepted to always move them, not only in the titles. It simply looks more aesthetic.

This filter changes all spaces between single character (like a i o u w z) to an   It is specially non-estetic on Polish sites.

So paragraph like this:

The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

Will be displayed as:

The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
