Consistency – Typography Corrector for Gutenberg

Description

Have you seen the typographic corrector in your word processor that formats what you type in real time? Well, it’s the same idea but with Gutenberg.

This WordPress plugin ensures consistent typography and punctuation on your site.
Corrections are applied automatically both during text entry and when pasting text.

All users can choose to enable or disable corrections, but only administrators can configure the correction rules.
Autocorrect is available for pages, posts, and custom post types (if they are configured to use the Rest API).
The available automatic corrections are listed on the plugin repository on github and are categorized as follows: Apostrophes, Quotation Marks, Dashes, Suffixes, Spaces, Case, Ellipsis, Symbols.

Pressing Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z immediately after a correction disables the correction for the next keystroke.

Technical Informations

Data Storage: Rules are saved in the wp_options table, while active/inactive states are saved as user meta data.
This data is deleted when the plugin is uninstalled.

Settings Location: Settings are directly in a plugin sidebar under the Block Editor: no more searching for an options page, always available and discreet.

Supported Locales: The locales supported by this plugin are:
fr_FR, fr_BE, en_US, en_AU, en_CA, en_NZ, en_ZA, en_GB, de_DE, de_AT, de_CH, ro_RO

If your locale is not supported by Consistency but you still want to access all available rules, you can disable the localization of rules via a filter. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'Consistency\only_show_locale_correction_rules', '__return_false' );

All correction rules will then appear, with automatic management of rule incompatibilities (if rule A is enabled and it is incompatible with rule B, rule B will be grayed out).

Screenshots

FAQ

Does this plugin modify my content?

Yes, the saved content will be the one modified by the plugin, but you can see the changes being made in real time and you can choose to accept or reject them.

Will this plugin slow down my page loading time?

Absolutely not, since nothing is done on the front end. The processing only occurs when you enter content.

This extension is a must-have if you’re concerned about the consistency of your typography. In French, having non-breaking spaces automatically before characters that require them is a real time-saver! No more exclamation marks ending a line below the title

Excellent ! As useful in english than in FrenchEt en plus si vous vous retrouvez dans une situation qui le nécessite, la modification est débrayable. Depuis le temps que je me prenais la tête avec les insécables et les guillemets ouverts et fermés.Petit reproche sur les ordinaux, seul le premier caractère passe en sup. (ou je m’ ‘y prend comme un manche ce qui est loin d’être impossible)Exemple : 1+e = 1e, mais 1+e+r = 1er Excellent quoiqu’il en soitUn grand merci Monsieur Antignac !
