It is extended to support the PSR-0 autoloading standard. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install PhpTypography with [composer](https://getcomposer.org) via ``` composer require debach/php-typography:dev-master composer install ``` and then use the class like ``` $html = '...'; $typography = new Debach\PhpTypography\PhpTypography(); $prettyHtml = $typography->process($html); ``` What PhpTypography does ----------------------- [](#what-phptypography-does) PhpTypography enhances the typography of the text on your web pages. The following table shows some examples of HTML texts before and after processing. Before After Explanation explanation ex­pla­na­tion Robust hyphenation with soft hyphens `­`. The browser will hyphenate words automatically based on the current line width. This is especially useful where the line width is rather small, for example in multi-column texts (CSS property `column-count`). I'm waiting for "Peter" I’m waiting for “Peter” Use correct quotes and apostrophes ... … Use the ellipses symbol A flock of sparrows - some of them juveniles - alighted and sang. A flock of sparrows — some of them juveniles — alighted and sang. Use an em-dash instead of a hypen 14-20 men 14–20 men Use an en-dash instead of a hypen in ranges `Acme Corporation & Partners` `Acme Corporation & Partners` Ampersands symbols are marked up so that you can choose a different font for them and make them look beatiful. Search the web for “ampersand font” as a start. For more examples, see the [project homepage](http://kingdesk.com/projects/php-typography/). How to use PhpTypography ------------------------ [](#how-to-use-phptypography) Construct an instance `$typography` of `Debach\PhpTypography\PhpTypography` and call `$typography->process($html)` on it with the HTML text `$html` you want to process: ``` $html = 'I\'m waiting for "Peter"...'; $typography = new Debach\PhpTypography\PhpTypography(); $prettyHtml = $typography->process($html); echo $prettyHtml; ``` The above code will print (soft hyphens not shown) ``` I’m waiting for “Peter”… ``` By the way, if you’re using the full-stack Symfony framework and Twig, there is also the [TypographyBundle](https://github.com/debach/typography-bundle) which comes with nice little helpers such as the `{% typography %}` tag and the `{{ text|typography }}` filter. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) A thorough explanation of the configuration can be found at the [KINGdesk homepage](http://kingdesk.com/projects/php-typography-documentation/). Hyphenation depends on the language, which can be set with `set_hyphenation_language($languageCode)`. For example, to set the hyphenation language to French or German, call ``` $typography->set_hyphenation_language('fr'); // set to French $typography->set_hyphenation_language('de'); // set to German ``` The default language is American English. Refer to the filenames in the `lang/` directory for an overview of available languages. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 88.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
