Typographic Behavior

A CakePHP behavior to handle typographic consistency.

The basic idea is to normalize all input into a standard typography (utf8 default). So different quotes like » or “ end up as " in the database. Upon output one can the decide to re-apply localization here.

See the TypographyHelper docs for output modification.

Usage

Basic usage

Include behavior in your Table class as

$this->addBehavior('Tools.Typographic', [
    'fields' => ['content'], 
    'mergeQuotes' => false,
]);

Set the fields to your table fields you want to normalize.

Configuration

With mergeQuotes option you can define if both " and ' should be merged into one of them. Defaults to false as they might be used nested for default input.
