Description

ImproveTypography is a Smarty modifier that parses texts according to basic rules of typography and it turns newlines and linebreaks into proper paragraphs.

It fea­tures the fol­low­ing capa­bil­i­ties (includ­ing gran­u­lar control):

• Hyphen­ation
• Spac­ing con­trol, includ­ing: glu­ing val­ues to units, widow pro­tec­tion, and forced inter­nal wrap­ping of long URLs & email addresses.
• Intel­li­gent char­ac­ter replace­ment, includ­ing smart han­dling of: quote marks ( “foo” ), dashes ( foo?–?bar ), ellipses ( … ), trade­marks ( ™ ), math sym­bols ( 1024×768 ), frac­tions ( ¹²?₂₃ ), and ordi­nal suf­fixes ( 3^rd )
• CSS hooks for styling: amper­sands (class “amp”), acronyms (class “caps”), num­bers (class “num­bers”), ini­tial sin­gle quotes (class “quo”), and ini­tial dou­ble quotes & guillemets (class “dquo”).

The plugin autmatically fetches the active locale and uses locale specific settings for example for quotes and so on.

ImproveTypography includes PHP-Typography 1.21
