Smarten up your quotes

Filed under: Technology, — bsag @ 07:02 PM

John Gruber of Daring Fireball has just released a new version of his excellent Moveabletype plugin, SmartyPants. It’s a clever little utility which ‘educates’ your quotes, en-dashes, em-dashes and elipses, and encodes them as proper HTML entities. I’m using them here, if anyone has noticed…

  1. 1

    i've been using the plugin for a while now, although i don't think anyone's noticed. still, i know my typesetting look right, which is the main thing eh? the new enem-dash discrimination is a welcome one.

    always enjoy your site btw; your photos are lovely.----- Works well, doesn�t it? Thinking about it, I don�t think I�ve modified the template for these comments yet, so they�ll be stupid quotes/em-dashes, ellipses . Curses. Another thing on my ToDo list.

    Thanks for the compliment by the way! I like yours too - lovely sunset skies in Ireland.
