Add words to an exception list?

    Hi,

    Love this brilliant plugin. I only have a very specific issue:

    The word “Inde” (India in French) is wrongly turned into I<sup>nde</sup>. Clearly, the last three chars are interpreted as “nde” which is the abbreviation for “2nde” (seconde in French). As it is located in a template, I can’t set it to a noTypo class because I need it for other contents.

    So is there a way to add this word “Inde” to an exception list, much like the hyphenation exception list?

    Ch.

    No, but there’s a setting for that: Just uncheck “Include Roman numbers” under the “Ordinal numbers” heading (on the “Intelligent Character Replacement” tab).

    Ah, but I need those roman numbers! I want them to turn “XXe siècle” to “XX<sup>e</sup> siècle” cause I have them all over the place ——the Website is for a French history book editor.

    I found a workaround, but it really is a bad trick. I’d prefer not to use it but until there’s a better way ——like adding an exception list? ??—— this will do: I’ve simply added the character &zwnj; between In and de: In&zwnj;de. Not good for the search functionality but at least it’s visually correct.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Ah, I see. I’ll add it as feature request for the underlying library (PHP-Typography), but I don’t know when I’ll get around to that. Might be some time.

    (Though I’m glad someone’s using the Roman numerals superscript feature – I really liked the idea when I implemented it, but having incorrect matches like this one led me to doubt the wisdom of doing so. I had to hurriedly introduce a separate setting so that people can at least choose whether they want their content to be broken by my plugin.)

    Hi Pepe,

    Well, sadly I had to disable the Roman numerals feature cause it turns out there’re many posts with the word “Inde” (French for India) in their title in the catalog so I can’t register exceptions for them all.

    So please, keep in mind to add this feature in a release soon enough!

    Thanks,
    Ch.

    I’ve added an enhancement issue for the PHP-Typography library. Still no timeline, though. If you’ve got any suggestions regarding the feature, @charlyp, we should discuss them on GitHub.
