Automatic elimination of "orphans"

[LTS]

It is a~problem peculiar to Polish I'm afraid. In Polish a~line break after a~one-letter world is a~typographic mistake called "an orphan". For this purpose so-called hard-spaces must be used. I~suppose that orphan elimination may be implemented by Calibre or one of its plugins. Unfotunatelly I~cannot find it. Thanks for any help!

Just edit the book and replace all such spaces by a NBSP:

Search: (\W\w)\s+
Replace: \1\u0080 (or equivalent).

The problem is: tags (for example <p ....>). This should work for regular text only - not inside tags!
(btw: \u00A0)

I can use

([^<A-Za-zĄĆĘŁÓŚŻŹąćęłóśżź]\w)\s+

for avoiding <p ...> and similar tags but omitting all elements inside < > would be perfect

Ah, yup, my mistake. That's what you get for writing things off-the-cuff.
