Typogrify.module brings the typographic refinements of Typogrify to Drupal. (Thanks to the Internet archive's Wayback machine for preserving that blog post.)
- Wraps ampersands (the “&” character) with
<span class="amp"></span>. - Prevents single words from wrapping onto their own line using Shaun Inman's Widont technique.
- Converts straight quotation marks "" to typographer's quotation marks “”, „“ or «» using SmartyPants language dependent.
- Converts multiple hyphens to en dashes and em dashes (according to your preferences), using SmartyPants.
- Wraps multiple capital letters with
<span class="caps"></span>. - Wraps initial quotation marks with
<span class="quo"></span>or<span class="dquo"></span>. - Adds a css style sheet that uses the
<span>tags to substitute a showy ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation marks. - Inserts ligatures (if supported by platform and browser).
- Replaces ascii arrows with unicode arrows (if supported by platform and browser).
- Inserts thin-space in abbreviations.
- Groups digits in large numbers.
- Replaces
=in words with a soft hyphen (­), to allow hyphenated line-breaks.
