Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about French Typo

No. The text saved in the database is never altered. French Typo intercepts the output just before display and adds the typography rules there. Deactivate the plugin and your content comes back unchanged.

Regular ( ) is universally supported. Thin ( ) is typographically purer for : ; but may render too narrow or as a missing glyph on older fonts and browsers.

Yes. In Settings > French Typo > Language restriction, choose Auto to apply only to fr_* locales, or Custom to pick specific locales. Polylang and WPML are detected per post; otherwise the site locale is used.

No. Typography is skipped inside <script>, <style>, <pre>, <code> (nested), <textarea>, and embedded CSS (e.g. inline SVG). Gutenberg's Verse block stays typographic unless it is also a Code block.

No. Only the French forms listed in the description are converted.

No (since 1.2.2). All non-breaking space variants —  ,  ,  ,  ,  , and literal U+00A0 / U+202F — are detected and collapsed to a single canonical entity.
