Textile: change single/double openings/closings
In former version of Textpattern it was quite easy to change single/double openings/closings from “ to „ (just to give an example). Just modify in classTextile.php this part
<code>
$glyph_replace = array(‘$1’$2’, // single closing
‘‘’, // single opening
‘$1”’, // double closing
‘“’, // double opening
</code>
according to your needs.
In Textpattern 4.0.4. the code was a little bit modified. The above snippet now looks like this:
<code>
$glyph_replace = array(
‘$1’.$txt_apostrophe.’$2’, // apostrophe’s
‘$1’.$txt_apostrophe.’$2’, // back in ’88
‘$1’.$txt_quote_single_close, // single closing
$txt_quote_single_open, // single opening
‘$1’.$txt_quote_double_close, // double closing
$txt_quote_double_open, // double opening
</code>
This could be hacked in the above mentioned way: But I think it would be better to alter the $txt_qotes_… But where can I find them?

The define() calls near the top.

If you have a working hack or hdiff exemple, I think that would be nice for a lot of people :)

Re: Textile: change single/double openings/closings
Sure, Jeremie,
Textile uses english (or american) openings and closings. Thats ist much better then the inch-sign (“), you can often see on webpages.
The english openings looking like this:
“Did you see ‘American Splendour’? It’s a great movie.”
The german typography goes like this
„Did you see ‚American Splendour‘? It’s a great movie.“
There are other versions for french and so on but the principle to alter the openings remains the same:
Open the classTextile.php in textpattern/lib
In version 4.0.4. you will find this starting with line #196
<code>
define('txt_quote_single_open', '‘');
define(‘txt_quote_single_close’, ‘’’);
define('txt_quote_double_open', '“');
define(‘txt_quote_double_close’, ‘”’);
</txp:code>
Oups: I didn’t want to display the glyphs but the HTML-entities. The ‘ for example ist number #8216
Change them to:
<code>@
define('txt_quote_single_open', '‚');
define(‘txt_quote_single_close’, ‘‘’);
define('txt_quote_double_open', '„');
define(‘txt_quote_double_close’, ‘“’);
@</code>
There is another thing I hacked at the classTextile.php. I wanted to replace the acronym-element – AFAIK it will be dropped in future version of XHTML/HTML – with abbr. And it should work on two-letter-words and on small-letter-words.
You have to change these two lines:
<code>
‘/\b([A-Z][A-Z0-9]{2,})\b(?:[(]([^)]*)[)])/’, // 3+ uppercase
.
.
.
<acronym title=”$2”>$1</acronym>
</code>
to
<code>
‘/\b([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]{1,})\b(?:[(]([^)]*)[)])/’, // abbr
.
.
.
<abbr title=”$2”>$1</abbr>
</code>

Re: Textile: change single/double openings/closings
is it possible to not to have them " and ' translated into “quotation marks” and ‘apostrophes’ throughout all the articles?

Re: Textile: change single/double openings/closings
Open up textpattern/lib/classTextile.php, scroll to line 191, and replace these:
@define('txt_quote_single_open', '‘');
@define('txt_quote_single_close', '’');
@define('txt_quote_double_open', '“');
@define('txt_quote_double_close', '”');
@define('txt_apostrophe', '’');
@define('txt_ellipsis', '…');with these:
@define('txt_quote_single_open', "'");
@define('txt_quote_single_close', "'");
@define('txt_quote_double_open', '"');
@define('txt_quote_double_close', '"');
@define('txt_apostrophe', "'");
@define('txt_ellipsis', '...');(I added ellipsis because of your related thread.)

Re: Textile: change single/double openings/closings
thank you mary.:) Just in case someone wants to do the same
I changed those on line 191 of classtextile.php to this:
<pre>
<code>
define('txt_quote_single_open', ''');
define(‘txt_quote_single_close’, ‘'’);
define('txt_quote_double_open', '"');
define(‘txt_quote_double_close’, ‘"’);
define('txt_apostrophe', ''');
define(‘txt_ellipsis’, ‘...’);
</code>
</pre>
And ran this on the SQL database:
<pre>
<code>
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE;
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE;
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE;
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE;
UPDATE textpattern SET Body_html = REPLACE;
</code>
</pre>
