Compose Tips

• Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
• Typogrify.module brings the typographic refinements of Typogrify to Drupal.
  • Wraps ampersands (the $ldquo;&” character) with <span class=\"amp\">&</span>.
  • Prevents single words from wrapping onto their own line using Shaun Inman's Widont technique.
  • Converts straight quotation marks to typographer's quotation marks, using SmartyPants.
  • Converts multiple hyphens to en dashes and em dashes (according to your preferences), using SmartyPants.
  • Wraps multiple capital letters with <span class=\"caps\">CAPS</span>.
  • Wraps initial quotation marks with <span class=\"quo\"></span> or <span class=\"dquo\"></span>.
  • Adds a css style sheet that uses the <span> tags to substitute a showy ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation marks.

• Quote filter

  Quoted content can be placed between [quote] tags in order to be displayed as an indented quote. Every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag. For example:

  [quote]This is a simple quote.[/quote]

  is displayed as:
  Quote:

  This is a simple quote.

  Additionally, there is an optional attribute which allows quotes to specify the original author.

  [quote=Mr. Drupal]This is a quote with an attribution line.[/quote]
  

  is displayed as:
  Mr. Drupal wrote:

  This is a quote with an attribution line.

  Finally, multiple [quote] tags can be nested within one another. Just remember that every [quote] tag must have a corresponding [/quote] tag.

      [quote]I think she says it best...
      [quote=Ms. Quotation]This is a quote nested within another quote.[/quote]
      but you can't argue with
      [quote=Ms. Reply]The more quotes, the merrier.
      Just don't get too carried away.[/quote]
      And I have nothing more to say.[/quote]

  is displayed as:
  Quote:

• Paging Help

  Break long pages into smaller ones by means of a page tag:

  First page here.
  <!--pagebreak-->
  Second page here.
  <!--pagebreak-->
  More pages here.

• Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
