| One irritating thing with text processing is the total absence of some typographic essentials on the keyboard -- "real" (typographic) quotes and the dash, typically miss-typed as inch or second sign (") and the hyphon(-). |
| |
| This plugin lends the good old Word behaviour to Xinha, as ",', and - get converted to their respective typographic correct relatives while typing. |
| It also replaces ... with the ellipsis sign (which is three dots combined in one glyph that is considered typographically better). |
| |
| Configuration (to change the quote style from default English): |
| * through language file (see lang/de.js) |
| * through a config variable (an array that holds four values: opening single quote, closing single quote, opening double quote, closing double quote) |
| |
| Additional config option: |
| * disable automatic replacement by default |
| |
| Additional features: |
| * can be switched on/off |
| * convert all quotes/dashes in a document that still has the boring "/- stuff |
