What is Typogrify.module?
=========================

Typogrify.module brings the typographic refinements of Typogrify to Drupal.

* Wraps ampersands (the "&" character) with <span class="amp">&amp</span>.

* Prevents single words from wrapping onto their own line using Shaun Inman's
  Widont technique.

* Converts straight quotation marks to typographer's quotation marks, using
  SmartyPants.

* Converts multiple hyphens to en dashes and em dashes (according to your
  preferences), using SmartyPants.

* Wraps multiple capital letters with <span class="caps">CAPS</span>.

* Wraps abbreviations with <span class="abbr">t.l.a.</span>.

* Wraps initial quotation marks with <span class="quo"></span> or
  <span class="dquo"></span>.

* Adds a css style sheet that uses the <span> tags to substitute a showy
  ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation
  marks.
