Smart Quotes Wizardry
Comments: 4
John Gruber of DaringFireball has released SmartyPants 1.0, a free MovableType plug-in that performs a range of typographic magic on blog entries so you can have ‘smart’ quotes, proper em dashes, and proper ellipses without having to remember the entity encodings for each item.
SmartyPants is just brilliant. If you’re using MovableType (and these days who isn’t?), you should really take a look at it.

This makes life easy. Great plugin. Although I know the right XHTML character entities for curly quotes by heart already now. :-)

You should update your Colophon:

And not put a “Clear Info” button where it looks like a submit button!
