Removing the spaces between words
\makeatletter
\def\RemoveSpaces#1{\zap@space#1 \@empty}
\makeatother
A different approach, that ensures correct hyphenation and line breaks between words is
\newcommand{\RemoveSpaces}[1]{%
\begingroup
\spaceskip=1sp
\xspaceskip=1sp
#1%
\endgroup}
This reduces the interword space to the minimum possible positive value (that's not visible to the human eye), but still paragraphs will be built as usual. Complete example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin]{babel}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\def\RemoveSpaces#1{%
\begingroup
\spaceskip1sp
\xspaceskip1sp
#1%
\endgroup}
\begin{document}
\parbox{5cm}{\RaggedRight
\RemoveSpaces{\lipsum[2]}
}
\end{document}
a solution with lualatex
for all spaces between words in a paragraph. Kerning and discretionaries are not affected.
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{babel,libertine,luacode,blindtext}
\begin{luacode*}
function rSpace(List)
for line in node.traverse_id(0,List) do -- go through all lines
for s in node.traverse_id(10,line.head) do node.remove(line.head,s) end
end
return List
end
\end{luacode*}
\begin{document}
\blindtext \par
\directlua{luatexbase.add_to_callback("post_linebreak_filter",rSpace,"rSpace")}
\blindtext \par
\end{document}
