Online script for automatic correction of multiple/erroneous spaces and erroneous capitalization

Automatic correction of multiple/wrong spaces and wrong capitalization

What does it fix

— Fixes double and multiple spaces including whitespace (maximum 1 space)
— Fixes multiple paragraphs (maximum 2)
— Fixes spaces before and after punctuation marks (i.e. before full stop, semicolon, colon, comma, exclamation mark, question mark there should be no space, and after them there should be one space)
— Fixes erroneous case usage (i.e. after full stop, exclamation mark, question mark the first letter of the first word should be a capital letter). It does exclude initialisms if they are marked with consecutive full stops.

There is a similar function for Greek text (slightly different rules apply there) as well as two functions on removing/adding the final n in Greek text (info in Greek). They are all accessible from the same page via the drop-down menu.

The script is on beta. Please reply here for comments or suggestions.

Known issues
— There is corruption of characters like smart quotes (pasted from Word).
