Improve your web typography with:

• Hyphenation — over 40 languages supported

  • fractions
  • ordinal suffixes

• CSS hooks for styling:

  • ampersands,

wp‐Typography has the following requirements:

• the host server must run PHP 5 or later
• your installation of PHP 5 must include the mbstring extension (most do)
• text must be encoded UTF‐8
• all markup must be valid xHTML syntax, specifically:
  • every element must be closed
  • every attribute must have a value enclosed in quotes
  • tag names and attributes must be lowercase

wp-Typography can easily be ported to any other PHP based content management system. A sister project — PHP Typography assembles all typographic functionality (without any WordPress specific code) in an object oriented format that is ready for WordPress independent use.
