General Options
Character and symbol replacements: Typographic apostrophe, oe → œ ligature, ... → … ellipsis, Spaced hyphen → em dash.
- Curly quotes — straight quotes
"become the quotes of the selected level (opening, closing). Inner space is the space between the quotation mark and the text (often a non-breaking space in French). - Remove square brackets — removes the characters
[and], while keeping the text inside. - Range dash — the symbol used between two numbers in a citation (verses or chapters).
Handling Spaces
For each punctuation mark (:, ;, !, ?, ellipsis, hyphen):
-
Space before — a non-breaking space before the punctuation mark.
-
Spaces after — one or two spaces after the punctuation mark.
Space types:
- None — no space added at this location.
- Normal space — a space that can be split at the end of a line.
- Non-breaking space — keeps the punctuation mark with the preceding or following word.
- Thin space / Narrow non-breaking space — narrower spaces (for typographic purposes).
- Digit-width space — the width of a digit.
