How can I remove the extra spaces from the line? So that I end up

this:
Suppose I have a line like this.
Exactly like fill-paragraph, but I do not want to "fill" the
paragraph,
only the current line. Is there an Emacs function to do this?
Not that I know of, but it'd be very easy to create one with a macro,
or Emacs Lisp.
Just narrow to the line, then fill paragraph.
There is a fill-region-as-paragraph command. check it out. The key
sequence
would be to go to the beginning of the line, mark, go to the end of the
line, then
fill-region-as-paragraph.
Also, its quicker for you to type ^h a fill (apropos fill) and scan the
results.
