CJK Auto Spacing

A pelican plugin to insert space between Chinese/Japanese/Korean character and English word.

Why

For Chinese readers, it's reading for torture instead of pleasure if Chinese characters and English words are mingled togther without spaces. (See Effects for comparison)

Moreover, research shows that those who love putting Chinese characters and English words together without space have more troubles in love (why space? in Chinese). Up to 70% marry one they don't love at 34 years old. And the other 30%, even worse, have nobody to inherit their legacies except cats.

So, to Chinese users, it is not hard to see the necessarity of using spaces.

Note: I know nothing about Japanese and Korean, but I feel confidently we can get the same conclusion. They have lots in common. And perhaps that's why they are called CJK Unified Ideographs together as a whole in the unicode standards.
