Hi Suvayu,

I=E2=80=99ve had on my list of rainy day ideas for a while writing a functi=
on
for org-export-filter-plain-text-functions that would implement
something like this.  It should be as simple as doing a text replace,
either on =E2=80=9C. [^ ]=E2=80=9D sequences in general or only spaces afte=
r a given
list of abbreviations.  The advantage of the second approach is that it
could catch the case where =E2=80=9Ce.g.=E2=80=9D is at the end of a line i=
n the org
document.  (You=E2=80=99d also have to remove the newline: translate =E2=80=
=9Ce.g.\nfoo=E2=80=9D
into =E2=80=9Ce.g.\ foo=E2=80=9D).  Another advantage to pre-specifying is =
that you might
want a non-breaking space in =E2=80=9CFig.~1=E2=80=9D but a breakable space=
 in =E2=80=9Ce.g.\ foo=E2=80=9D;
so you could keep two lists.
