Note: To prevent errors and HTML glitches, wp-typogrify no longer typogrifies post titles.

wp-typogrify is a WordPress plugin that "Prettifies your web typography by preventing ugly quotes and 'widows' and providing CSS hooks to style some special cases."

It's a port of the original 'typogrify' Python code by Christian Metts. http://code.google.com/p/typogrify/

What can it do?

• Widon't (tries to prevent text 'widows', where only one word wraps at the end of a line)
• Run text through SmartyPants, http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-smartypants/
• Wrap initial quotes (and French style (Guillemets) quotes) in class='dquo' or class='quo' depending on if they are single or double
• Wrap ampersands in class='amp'
• Wrap multiple adjacent capital letters in class='caps'
• Add a thinspace before and after en and em dashes
