README

SpipRemix Typography is a tool that provide microtypography corrections for texts. It relies on JoliCode/JoliTypo library with additional rules.

This library can be used in any PHP project. For usage alongside the SPIP CMS, see SpipRemix/Typographer library.

Installation

composer require spipremix/typography

Usage

The integrated Fixer class extends the native JoliTypo’s one, so the syntax is similar. See JoliTypo for more informations.

use SpipRemix/Typography/Fixer;

$rules = Fixer::DEFAULT_RULES_BY_LOCALE['fr_FR'];
$fixer = new Fixer($rules);
$fixer->setLocale('fr_FR');

$htmlContent = $fixer->fix($htmlContent);
$stringContent = $fixer->fixString($stringContent);

constant DEFAULT_RULES_BY_LOCALE

We have introduced Fixer::DEFAULT_RULES_BY_LOCALE constant which differ from native Fixer::RECOMMENDED_RULES_BY_LOCALE in that way :

• Removed Hyphen rule : This rule si notably time consuming. By the way it becomes less useful as CSS gets an hyphenation support (not on all browsers nor languages yet however).
• Added Fr/PunctuationMissingNoBreakSpace rule for fr_FR locale : Unlike JoliTypo, this rule adds non-breaking space beetween a word and a punctuation sign when it’s missing and needed. Native JoliTypo only alter the string for a non-breaking space if a space already exists. See JoliTypo#31 issue

Load additional rules

use SpipRemix/Typography/Fixer;
use SpipRemix/Typography/Fixer/TildeAsNoBreakSpace;

$rules = Fixer::DEFAULT_RULES_BY_LOCALE['fr_FR'];
// adds TildeAsNoBreakSpace in first place.
$rules = [TildeAsNoBreakSpace::class, ...$rules];
$fixer = new Fixer($rules);
$fixer->setLocale('fr_FR');

Additional Rules

We introduced some additional rules to upgrade some part of the JoliTypo ones.

TildeAsNoBreakSpace

Fixer that change tilde char ~ to non-breaking space, unless they are escaped with a slash, as in \~.

Note: Tilde character is used in Tex or LaTex to represent a non-breaking space character. The SPIP editing syntax also offer this kind of writing, and potentally other tools.

This rule, somehow specific, is not in the Fixer::DEFAULT_RULES_BY_LOCALE rules list.

Fr/PunctuationMissingNoBreakSpace

This rule completes the FrenchNoBreakSpace native one, and should be added before it in the rules order.

This rule adds non-breaking space beetween a word and a punctuation sign when it’s missing and needed, like in Quoi?, Quoi? or Quoi:. Native JoliTypo only replaces the string for a non-breaking space if a space already exists, like in Quoi ?.

This rule try to be smart in some edge cases by not touching specific patterns like 12:34, :happy:, :-) an so on.
