Typography Class
################
-The Typography Class provides functions that help you format text.
+The Typography Class provides methods that help you format text.
+
+.. content::
+ :local:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+ <div class="custom-index container"></div>
+
+**************************
+Using the Typography Class
+**************************
Initializing the Class
======================
Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Typography class is
-initialized in your controller using the $this->load->library function::
+initialized in your controller using the ``$this->load->library()`` method::
$this->load->library('typography');
-Once loaded, the Typography library object will be available using:
-$this->typography
+Once loaded, the Typography library object will be available using::
-auto_typography()
-==================
+ $this->typography
-Formats text so that it is semantically and typographically correct
-HTML. Takes a string as input and returns it with the following
-formatting:
+***************
+Class Reference
+***************
-- Surrounds paragraphs within <p></p> (looks for double line breaks to
- identify paragraphs).
-- Single line breaks are converted to <br />, except those that appear
- within <pre> tags.
-- Block level elements, like <div> tags, are not wrapped within
- paragraphs, but their contained text is if it contains paragraphs.
-- Quotes are converted to correctly facing curly quote entities, except
- those that appear within tags.
-- Apostrophes are converted to curly apostrophe entities.
-- Double dashes (either like -- this or like--this) are converted to
- em—dashes.
-- Three consecutive periods either preceding or following a word are
- converted to ellipsis…
-- Double spaces following sentences are converted to non-breaking
- spaces to mimic double spacing.
+.. class:: CI_Typography
-Usage example::
+ .. attribute:: $protect_braced_quotes = FALSE
- $string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string);
+ When using the Typography library in conjunction with the :doc:`Template Parser library <../parser>`
+ it can often be desirable to protect single and double quotes within curly braces.
+ To enable this, set the ``protect_braced_quotes`` class property to TRUE.
-Parameters
-----------
+ Usage example::
-There is one optional parameters that determines whether the parser
-should reduce more then two consecutive line breaks down to two. Use
-boolean TRUE or FALSE.
+ $this->load->library('typography');
+ $this->typography->protect_braced_quotes = TRUE;
-By default the parser does not reduce line breaks. In other words, if no
-parameters are submitted, it is the same as doing this::
+ .. method auto_typography($str[, $reduce_linebreaks = FALSE])
- $string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string, FALSE);
+ :param string $str: input string
+ :param bool $reduce_linebreaks: whether to reduce consequitive linebreaks
+ :returns: string
-.. note:: Typographic formatting can be processor intensive,
- particularly if you have a lot of content being formatted. If you choose
- to use this function you may want to consider :doc:`caching <../general/caching>`
- your pages.
+ Formats text so that it is semantically and typographically correct HTML.
+ Takes a string as input and returns it with the following formatting:
-format_characters()
-====================
+ - Surrounds paragraphs within <p></p> (looks for double line breaks to identify paragraphs).
+ - Single line breaks are converted to <br />, except those that appear within <pre> tags.
+ - Block level elements, like <div> tags, are not wrapped within paragraphs, but their contained text is if it contains paragraphs.
+ - Quotes are converted to correctly facing curly quote entities, except those that appear within tags.
+ - Apostrophes are converted to curly apostrophe entities.
+ - Double dashes (either like -- this or like--this) are converted to em—dashes.
+ - Three consecutive periods either preceding or following a word are converted to ellipsis (…).
+ - Double spaces following sentences are converted to non-breaking spaces to mimic double spacing.
-This function is similar to the auto_typography function above, except
-that it only does character conversion:
+ Usage example::
-- Quotes are converted to correctly facing curly quote entities, except
- those that appear within tags.
-- Apostrophes are converted to curly apostrophe entities.
-- Double dashes (either like -- this or like--this) are converted to
- em—dashes.
-- Three consecutive periods either preceding or following a word are

-- Double spaces following sentences are converted to non-breaking
- spaces to mimic double spacing.
+ $string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string);
-Usage example::
+ There is one optional parameter that determines whether the parser should reduce more then two consecutive line breaks down to two.
+ Pass boolean TRUE to enable reducing line breaks::
- $string = $this->typography->format_characters($string);
+ $string = $this->typography->auto_typography($string, TRUE);
-nl2br_except_pre()
-====================
+ .. note:: Typographic formatting can be processor intensive, particularly if you have a lot of content being formatted.
+ If you choose to use this method you may want to consider :doc:`caching <../general/caching>` your pages.
-Converts newlines to <br /> tags unless they appear within <pre> tags.
-This function is identical to the native PHP nl2br() function, except
-that it ignores <pre> tags.
+ .. method:: format_characters($str)
-Usage example::
+ :param string $str: input string
+ :returns: string
- $string = $this->typography->nl2br_except_pre($string);
+ This method is similar to ``auto_typography()`` above, except that it only does character conversion:
