p5-Text-Typography

Perl module to markup ASCII text with correct typography for HTML

This module is a thin wrapper for John Gruber's SmartyPants plugin for various CMSs. SmartyPants is a web publishing utility that translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML entities. SmartyPants can perform the following transformations: * Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into "curly" quote HTML entities * Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into "curly" quote HTML entities * Dashes (-- and ---) into en- and em-dash entities * Three consecutive dots (...) into an ellipsis entity
