Notice: This thread is archived, this plugin is no longer available.

**********************************************************

This plugin allows you to modify the typography generated by Textpattern.
How to use it?

Simply wrap the content you want to “tune” with the tag <txp:nhn_typotuner>. For example:

You can use the following attributes:

quotes : 96 (standard), (), )( 
You can choose between three different types of quotes:
- 96: „my quotation“
- (): «my quotation»
- )(: »my quotation«
lang : *de (standard)* Until now, you can only select German as language. Typographic replacements for other languages are very welcome! What does this option do:
- adds a non-breaking space before a dash
dotextile : yes, *no (standard)* Textile any given text.
doglyphs : yes, *no (standard)* This option is very useful if you are using the tinymce plugin and want to transform the glyphs (“-…) to their unicode entities, e. g. “–” will become “–”.

All-in-one example

Let’s say the title of an article is:

New plugin “nhn_typotuner” – it’s nice!

And your form looks like this:

The result would be:

New plugin »nhn_typotuner« – it’s nice!

yay! this works effectively to process textile in any tags: <txp:older /> or <txp:newer /> or <txp:recent_articles /> or <txp:title />

very helpful. thank you! :)

hm.. just one thing… it’s automatically adding  tags around the text.. which is no good in a title.

I’ll look into that for the next release.
