Thanks for providing this awesome typographic assistant – using it on a number of sites…! Well documented & actively maintained. Much appreciated 🙌
Cool plugin for those who care about how their text looks on the “printed page,” including punctuation marks and hyphenization. Easy to understand and use.
Sehr nützlich, funktioniert gut! Danke!
Very useful, works well! Thank you!
Essential, especially for French.
A must! I hope it will be supported for a long time
For a long time I wondered which plugin was consuming too much RAM on my WP installation. Through the Code Profiler I found out that THIS plugin is responsible for it. After disabling it, I suddenly had 40-50 MB more space in RAM. This is unacceptable, unfortunately! Too bad, this PlugIn is otherwise really good and does a great job. I have now solved the hyphenation by CSS and deleted this PlugIn.
