SmartyPants Typographer can perform those additional transformations:
  • French guillements done using (<< and >>) into true « guillemets » HTML entities.

  • Replace existing spaces with non-break spaces for spaces used as a thousand separator and between a number and the unit symbol that follows it (for most common units).
