Description
French Typo automatically applies French typography rules to your content. The plugin adds non-breaking spaces before punctuation marks (;, :, !, ?, %, «, ») and replaces (c) with © and (r) with ®. You can choose between regular or thin non-breaking spaces.
Rules apply to all your content: posts, pages, excerpts, taxonomies, archives, comments, widgets, menus, RSS feeds, REST API, custom fields, breadcrumbs, and SEO metadata. Each area can be enabled or disabled individually in settings.
