Intypo 0.9.0 released
A new version of my Intypo plugin for improved typography in WordPress blog software is available now.
What’s new in Intypo 0.9.0
- Intypo is now replacing the original »wptexturize()« function. (Intypo 0.6.4 was post-filtering after texturize.) This avoids unnecessary double replacement.
- Just like the original texturize function, Intypo keeps away from <code>, <pre>, <style>, and <script> areas now.
- Intypo has several improvements in the regular expressions for much better recognition of quotation marks.
- You can now add your own phrases starting with apostrophes to avoid replacement with single quotes.
- This »cockney replace« function is now only applied, if the cockney word is followed by a space. This allows phrases which are identical with some word beginnings (e.g. ’t in Dutch or ’ne in German).
- Changed usage of m-dashes (as suggested by Till Westermayer), but depending on language style. (If the default english style is selected, two dashes surrounded by spaces are replaced by a m-dash. If a different style is selected, they get replaced by a n-dash. You can still invoke a m-dash by typing three dashes then.)
- Reworked admin page, suggesting quote styles depending on the language selected (avoiding the long list of old Intypo) and with a larger preview text for easier recognition of the quotation marks.
- Some minor changes which might save some server memory and increase speed.
- Filter is now beeing applied to »category_description«, »list_cats«, »comment_author«, »comment_text«, »single_post_title«, »the_title«, »the_content«, »the_excerpt«, and »bloginfo«.
Installation and upgrade instructions:
- Download Intypo from my downloads page.
- If upgrading, delete the old intypo.php file from your plugins directoy.
- Unpack the downloaded file.
- Copy the intypo folder with its two files to your plugins directory, so that the new intypo.php is now located at wp-content/plugins/intypo/intypo.php
and you have the language codes at wp-content/plugins/intypo/language.php - Go to your plugins page and activate Intypo. (This is also necessary if upgrading!)
- Go to Options / Intypo page and select the desired style. (You may even select a style from a different language, if you want.
Some examples which did not work with earlier versions of Intypo (and still don’t without Intypo):
- Dutch: Jeroen in ’t Veldt
- German: »Gib mir mal ’nen Besen!«
- English: You may download Intypo (»here«).
Hab’s erst jetzt gesehen – und sofort geupdated, funktioniert wunderbar. Klasse!
