Typogrify |build-status| |pypi-version| #######################################

Typogrify provides a set of custom filters that automatically apply various transformations to plain text in order to yield typographically-improved HTML. While often used in conjunction with Jinja and Django template systems, the filters can be used in any environment.

.. _Jinja: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/ .. _Django: https://www.djangoproject.com/

Installation

The following command will install via pip. Pay particular attention to the package name::

python -m pip install typogrify

Requirements

Python 3.6 and above is supported. The only dependency is SmartyPants_, a Python port of a project by John Gruber.

Installing Jinja or Django is only required if you intend to use the optional template filters that are included for those frameworks.

.. _SmartyPants: http://web.chad.org/projects/smartypants.py/

Usage

The filters can be used in any environment by importing them from typogrify.filters::

from typogrify.filters import typogrify
content = typogrify(content)

For use with Django, you can add typogrify to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of any Django project in which you wish to use it, and then use {% load typogrify_tags %} in your templates to load the filters it provides.

Experimental support for Jinja is in typogrify.templatetags.jinja_filters.

Included filters

amp

Wraps ampersands in HTML with <span class="amp"> so they can be styled with CSS. Ampersands are also normalized to &. Requires ampersands to have whitespace or an   on both sides. Will not change any ampersand which has already been wrapped in this fashion.

caps

Wraps multiple capital letters in <span class="caps"> so they can be styled with CSS.

initial_quotes

Wraps initial quotes in <span class="dquo"> for double quotes or <span class="quo"> for single quotes. Works inside these block elements:

• h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6

• p

• li

• dt

• dd

Also accounts for potential opening inline elements: a, em, strong, span, b, i.

smartypants

Applies SmartyPants.

typogrify

Applies all of the following filters, in order:

• amp

• widont

• smartypants

• caps

• initial_quotes

widont

Based on Shaun Inman's PHP utility of the same name, replaces the space between the last two words in a string with   to avoid a final line of text with only one word.

Works inside these block elements:

• h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6

• p

• li

• dt

• dd

Also accounts for potential closing inline elements: a, em, strong, span, b, i.

Development

To set up your development environment, first clone the project. Then create and activate a new virtual environment. From within the project, run::

python -m pip install invoke
invoke setup

Each time you make changes to Typogrify, there are two things to do regarding tests: check that the existing tests pass, and add tests for any new features or bug fixes. You can run the tests via::

invoke tests

In addition to running the test suite, it is important to also ensure that any lines you changed conform to code style guidelines. You can check that via::

invoke lint
