Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

When you publish a post or update an already published post, this plugin will format the post’s content to certain typographic rules:

-

All hyphens between two words (surrounded by spaces) will be transformed to m-dashes with the non-breaking spaces ahead of them.

-

All hyphens between digits (without spaces) will be transformed to n-dashes. But it tries to preserve phone numbers.

-

All spaces following these words will be replaced with the non-breaking spaces:

  • at
  • or
  • and
  • the
  • a
  • an
  • in
  • on
  • of
  • for
  • to
  • as
  • i
  • or
  • my

-

Double and more spaces are replaced with the single ones.

-

All misplaced spaces near dots, colons, semicolons, exclamation marks and question marks are fixed, where possible.

-

g. easy-to-use ) will be wrapped in <nobr></nobr> tags.

-

<pre></pre> tag and its contents are preserved.

Problems:

-

The plugin will not mess with the HTML tags or other mark-up tags delimited with < and >. It will mess with the Javascript code and such constructions as:

[code] bla bla bla [/code]

Though, since version 6, the mess is minimized for [code] and [video] tags.

-

The n-dash thing will mess up with the phone numbers that have only one hyphen in them. They will be confused with the value ranges.
