How to install an extension

Download ZIP file and copy it into your system/extensions folder. Learn more about extensions.

How to style the title of the page

Change in the template (e.g. in layouts/default.html) $this->yellow->page->getHtml("titleContent") with $this->yellow->page->get("titleContent") and use markdown to style the title of the page.

How to insert proper quotations marks and other characters

Write " and ' for quotations marks, ' for apostrophe, ... for ellipsis, -- and --- for dashes, \' for prime, \" for double prime. These characters will be converted to the proper typographic ones.

How to hyphenate words at end of line

Add in the stylesheet the property hyphens: auto. With this extension the property is implied also when text-align: justify is set. Hyphenation will occur even in browsers that do not natively support it.

Examples

Content file with styled title:

---
Title: We make things for **people**
Published: 2020-04-07
Author: Datenstrom
---

We think people should be in the centre. Machines should support you.

Template for styled titles:

<?php $this->yellow->layout("header") ?>
<div class="content">
<div class="main" role="main">
<h1><?php echo $this->yellow->page->get("titleContent") ?></h1>
<?php echo $this->yellow->page->getContentHtml() ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php $this->yellow->layout("footer") ?>

Text with quotation marks and other special characters:

"We have three guidelines for our products..." she said. 
"Technology is useful in function and aesthetic. Technology 
is simple to use and adjust. Technology is made for people 
-- like you".

Stylesheet rule for hyphenating words when needed at end of line:

.content p {
    text-align: justify;
    hyphens: auto;
}

Settings

The following settings can be configured in file system/extensions/yellow-system.ini:

TypographyTitleParser = how titles are styled, markdown, safemarkdown without HTML, none
TypographySubstitutions = a comma separated list of characters which will be converted, e.g. quotes, apostrophe, dash, dots, space (space is used only in French texts)
TypographyHyphenation = enable hyphenation, 0 or 1
