Featured WordPress Plugin: WP-Typography
October 26, 2010
Typographical elements can sometimes be a bit fiddly to get to grips with on WordPress. You’ve put all of your effort into getting your design and your content just right but typographically some things just aren’t working. You want to use fractions, for example, and they look a mess, or you want to add hyphenation to your text. The WP-Typography WordPress Plugin takes care of these things for you:
Features
- Spacing control
- Hyphenation
- Intelligent character replacement including smart handling of quotation marks, dashes, trademarks, ellipses, math symbols, ordinal suffixes and fractions
- CSS Hooks for styling ampersands, uppercase words, numbers, initial quotes and guillmets
Out Mini Review
If you’re looking for an easy way to improve the typography of your WordPress website then the WP-Typography Plugin offers a good solution. I particularly like the feature that allows you to add custom diacritic word replacements e.g automatically replacing cliche with cliché, or cafe with café. This could come in really handy if you’re frequently using words that require different accents.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
