Typogrify

Typogrify.module brings the typographic refinements of Typogrify to Drupal.

• 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 “”, using SmartyPants.
• 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).
