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.
  • 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.
  • Paging Help

    Break long pages into smaller ones by means of a page break tag (e.g. <!--pagebreak-->):

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

    Automatic page breaking based on character or word count is also supported.

  • 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:
