TYPO3 Core

Quoting Daniel Schwarzloh:
«Using 'rtehtmlarea' as our main texteditor in TYPO3, we asserted that our editorial department frequently pastes text from MS Word into the RTE. For various reasons we decided to replace some of the typographical punctuation MS Word uses by default - such as 'curly quotes', 'guillemets', 'ellipsis', 'hyphen' etc. - with ASCII characters.

Therefore we extended the JavaScript used by the plug-in 'RemoveFormat' to include an additional checkbox in the popup window to replace typographical punctuation with their ASCII representation.

Talking to other TYPO3 developers, we were struck that this additional functionality of text cleanup might be useful for others as well.»
