L'extension indispensable pour le texte
Fini les "?" et les ":" qui finissent orphelins en début de ligne... Et pas seulement... La gestion des espaces insécables et des espaces fines sur le web est généralement mise de côté, et c'est bien domage. Ce plugin (paramétrable) rectifie le tir. Plus besoin d'insérer manuellement dans le code des " " ! MERCI

Simple, efficent and very useful ! Thanks
Merci Jason, super initiative, ça manquait !Je regarde ta todo et j'ai quelques remarques à ajouter Concernant les abréviations de nombres ordinauxpremier donne bien 1er mais première donne 1re et non 1ère Deuxième et troisième donnent 2e et 3e dans tous les cas, pas de 2ème ou 3ème Sinon les numéraux indéfinis s’abrègent en nième nième et xième, ce qui est calqué sur leur prononciation.
