Text Formatting

StripControlChars ?

Fixes control characters inadvertently entered into entries or comments by pasting text containing "smart quotes," etc.

This plugin is relevant only to blogs whose character-encoding is iso-8859-1. If you're using utf-8, you probably aren't encountering the problem this plugin set out to solve.

To Remove the control characters in your text:
<$MTEntryBody strip_controlchars="1"$>

To translate these (would-be) Windows-1252 characters into the corresponding numeric entities:
<$MTEntryBody strip_controlchars="2">

NumberSpell ?

Spells out numbers. 1 becomes one, 22 becomes twenty two, etc.

<$MTEntryCommentCount number_spell="1"$> comments

Acronym ?

Acronym is a plugin for Movable Type that adds acronym tags to known acronyms.

This text:

This is a XHTML test

becomes

This is a >acronym title="Extensible HyperText Markup Language"<XHTML>/acronym< test

which in the web browser is shown like this:

This is a XHTML test

turns
<strong>This is a XHTML test</strong>
into
<strong>This is a &lt;acronym title=
"Extensible HyperText Markup Language"&gt;
XHTML&lt;/acronym&gt; test</strong>

Obfuscate ?

The MTObfuscate tag and obfuscate filter allow you to encode portions of your webpage into a quasi-random string that is emitted using Javascript. Obfuscated content should be safe from spam harvesters and search engines, but will appear as regular HTML on Javascript enabled browsers.

<MTObfuscate>
<a href="mailto:<MTEntryAuthorEmail>"><MTEntryAuthorEmail></a>
</MTObfuscate>.
