Removing white space from a string

I have a use case where I need to use the title of a post in a aria-labelledby attribute. The issue is I need a valid id to pull from which does not allow for white space. I’d like to use the output of the {{ .Title }} so I tried this:
<li>
<a href="{{ .Permalink }}" aria-labelledby="{{ trim .Title " " }}">{{ $firstLetter }}<span>{{ $secondLetter }}</span></a>
</li>
<li id="{{ trim .Title " " }}">{{ .Title }}</li>

But it doesn’t work. After looking at the documentation, I’m at a loss. It like I need the opposite of the humanize function…

Just used a regular expression…

{{ replaceRE "(\\s)" "" .Title }}
