Description

We’ve had the “typography” plugin of ikiwiki enabled in our config since the beginning of times. It requires the libtext-typography-perl package to work but it’s not enabled on the server nor mentioned in our doc.

This would do smart and nice things, for example, it would convert:

  • ... into …
  • ' into ’
  • " into “ or ”
  • -- into —

It detects HTML (respects ) and `.

One problem I could detect is our use of for command line.

For example on /doc/first_steps/persistence/copy the --del to rsync becomes — because it’s inside of a (and not a ).

If we take this into account while working on Feature #15120, we might be able to activate this plugin without trouble.
