Widon't
Development and Programming
Shaun Inman created this neat little plugin for Wordpress to eliminate widows from post titles. From his website:
For those who don’t know, in typesetting, a widow is a single word on a line by itself at the end of a paragraph and is considered bad style.
I took the liberty of porting this plugin to EE. Posted to plugins.pmachine.com and available on my site.
Cool…being an old print designer, I notice things like widows and it drives me nuts.
So, what are we gonna do about orphans, then? 😊 Nice plugin, Lodewijk.
Nice one Lodewijk! very handy 😊
Is anyone having issues with this plug-in with the new 1.6?
I can’t seem to get it to work properly for some reason.
Shouldn’t be affected by 1.6 in anyway. How are you implementing?
I made sure it was properly installed…which is pretty much drag and drop.
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="quote" limit="1" orderby="random" dynamic="off" rdf="off"}
<blockquote>
{exp:widont}{quote}{/exp:widont}
</blockquote>
<div class="customer">
<span>{customer_name}</span>
{title}
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
[edit]
I just went and re-downloaded it from EE and it still is not working.
Is {quote} formatted in anyway? (xhml/br/textile/etc) also, does the markeup have any “&#nbsp;”s anywhere?
It is currently set to None, but when I saw what you said I changed it to Textile but it still is not wrapping the bottom word and there are no spaces inserted via HTML.
