# Changelog for Typopo

## 2.8.0 // 2025-11-30

This release brings major improvements to dash and hyphen handling, including fix for German compound words (#92) and better Markdown compatibility. The update adds *direct speech introduction* formatting.

### ✨ New features
- Fix dashes between words and brackets with locale-specific dash and spacing:
  - `word-(bracket` → `word—(bracket` (en-us)
  - `bracket)-word` → `bracket)—word` (en-us)
  - `word-)`        → `word—)` (en-us)
  - `(-word`        → `(—word` (en-us)
  - `word)-(word`   → `word)—(word` (en-us)
  - Special case: dashes within brackets preserve dash type, only remove spaces: `( - )` → `(-)`
- Fix direct speech introduction by replacing dashes with locale-specific punctuation:
  - Consolidate the use of dashes (hyphen, en dash, em dash) and direct speech intro (`:` or `,`)
  - Fix extra spacing between direct speech intro and opening double quotes
  - Remove trailing dashes after closing quotes
  - Remove dashes starting before opening double quotes 
  - Examples:
    - `She said: - “Hello” - and left.` → `She said, “Hello” and left.` (en-us)
    - `She said: - „Hello“ - and left.` → `She said: „Hello“ and left.` (cs/sk/de-de)

### 🐛 Fixes
- Improve dash fixing between a word and punctuation, e.g. `word - ,` → `word–,` (example in `en-us` locale; dash replacement is locale-specific)
- Fix false positives in hyphen spacing for German compound words ([#92](https://github.com/surfinzap/typopo/issues/92))
- Preserve three consecutive hyphens `---` as Markdown `<hr>` indicators. Previously, these were incorrectly converted to an em dash `—`.
- Preserve a space between square brackets `[ ]` as a Markdown checkbox indicator. Previously, spaces were incorrectly removed: `[ ]` → `[]`.

### 🔥 Removed
- Remove function to fix spaces around hyphens (e.g. `e-shop` → `e-shop`). This function incorrectly modified valid suspended hyphen constructions such as “A-or B-test” (English), “Ein-und Ausgang” (German), and similar patterns in Slovak and Czech.

### 🔨 Maintenance

### 🐛 Fixes

  - removed for `en-us` ([source](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Numbers/faq0005.html))
  - changed to a narrow non-breaking space for `de-de` ([source](https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/41550/what-does-din-5008-exactly-say-about-percent-character))
  - changed to a non-breaking space for `sk`, `cs`, `rue`

  - `‘Sentence ending …’` → `‘Sentence ending…’`

### 🐛 Fixes
- Update use cases when a space between the number sign (#) and the number is removed. Before, the space was falsely removed between level 2 markdown headings and numbers (e.g. “## 1. introduction” was falsely changed to “##1. introduction”). Now the space is kept. (bug reported by [@filipaldi](https://github.com/filipaldi))
- A dash was not fixed between words, when the first word ended on a letter “ŷ”
- An nbsp was falsely added after a word that had the letter “ŷ” on the second to the last past position, e.g. nbsp was falsely added after the word “starŷm”


### 🔨 Maintenance

## 2.5.3 // 2022-01-16

  - e.g.“something” → e.g. “something”
- Consolidate spaces around ellipsis that replaces the last item in the list
  - We sell apples, oranges, … → We sell apples, oranges,…
  - (apples, oranges, … ) → (apples, oranges,…)

### 🐛 Fixes

  - “He was ok”. “He was ok”. → “He was ok.” “He was ok.”

### 🔨 Maintenance
- Update NPM packages to their latest versions



## 2.5.2 // 2021-09-04
No changes in functionality in this release, just repackaging the bundle.



## 2.5.1 // 2021-09-04
No changes in functionality in this release, just updating package dependencies to their latest versions.



## 2.5.0 // 2021-06-08
I’ve done something in this version what I wanted to do for a while. I wanted to refactor modules that fix double quotes and single quotes. These modules were old and difficult to improve. And as I went along refactoring, I’ve also fixed few other issues, so in the end, quite a few things made it into this version.

Since this version (2.5.0), Typopo is tested against 2540 assertion tests (+675 tests since version 2.4.1). The number of tests is not a guarantee there won’t be any bugs, but it indicates a growing desire to cover more and more edge cases.

Here’s a rundown of what’s been new and improved in this version.


### ✨ New features
New configuration option to keep Markdown code blocks in your Markdown files:
- `keepMarkdownCodeBlocks: true` when you want to keep Markdown code blocks in your Markdown files
- `keepMarkdownCodeBlocks: false` want to fix grave accents (`) in generic texts to single quotes 


### ⚡️ Improvements
- Limit identification of “and” contractions to common phrases, and add a non-breaking space around them. Common phrases:
	- dead ’n’ buried
	- drill ’n’ bass
	- drum ’n’ bass
	- rock ’n’ roll
	- pick ’n’ mix
	- fish ’n’ chips
	- salt ’n’ shake
	- mac ’n’ cheese
	- pork ’n’ beans
	- drag ’n’ drop
	- rake ’n’ scrape
	- hook ’n’ kill
- Identify and fix single-quoted ‘words’ outside double quotes
- Swap single quotes and terminal punctuation when single quotes are used only for a portion of a sentence, e.g.:
  - …only a ‘quoted part.’  → …only a ‘quoted part’.
- Keep a space between a number and a number sign (#) at the beginning of the paragraph (e.g. when you’re starting a Markdown headline with a number)
- Limit adding a non-breaking space after cardinal and ordinal numbers with three and more digits.


### 🐛 Fixes
- Fix edge cases around double quotes and double primes:
  - Here are 30 "bucks" → Here are 30 “bucks” *(before, a left quote was falsely identified as a double prime)*
  - "Conference 2020" and "something in quotes". → “Conference 2020” and “something in quotes”. *(before, a right quote after “2020” was falsely identified as a double prime)*
  - "2020" → “2020” *(before, dumb quotes around numbers were not identified as a double quote pair)*
  - He was ok. “He was ok ”. → He was ok. “He was ok.”, *(before, when a right double quote was swapped with a terminal punctuation, the extra space wasn’t removed)*
  -  It’s 12" x 12". → It’s 12″ × 12″. *(before, the second prime was falsely identified as a right double quote)*
  - 12'' → 12″ (two dumb single quotes are fixed to a double prime around numbers)
  - When you ask the “How often…” question *(before, the ellipsis was falsely swapped with a right double quote in this type of Sentence)*
  - It’s a“nice” saying. → It’s a “nice” saying. *(now, the added space is a nbsp, when added before a single-word prepositions)*
- When Typopo is configured as  `removeWhitespacesBeforeMarkdownList : false`, Markdown lists are now kept nested, even when they start with `+`


### 🔨 Maintenance
- Refactor a module to fix double quotes
- Refactor a module to fix single quotes
- Update NPM packages to their latest versions

## 2.3.7 // 2020-11-01
### Improvements
* Fix acute or grave accents used as apostrophe (Paul´s → Paul’s) (#43)

### Fixes
* Remove incidents when a non-breaking space was falsely added after a single-letter word. Before, the script would add an unnecessary nbsp in:
	* “Ctrl+I and…” (i.e. “Ctrl+I⎵and…”),
	* “Ctrl-I and…” (i.e. “Ctrl+I⎵and…”),
	* “Try Ctrl+I” (i.e. “Try⎵Ctrl+I”),
	* “$25M investment” (i.e. “$25M⎵investment”)
* Remove incidents when an ellipsis was accidentally trimmed
	* Before, “Sentence ended. ... and we were there.” was falsely transformed into “Sentence ended… and we were there.” (new behavior: Sentence ended. …and we were there.)
* Remove incidents when commas were accidentally trimmed:
	* Before, “We sell apples, oranges, …, pens.” was falsely transformed into “We sell apples, oranges,… pens.” (new behavior: keep punctuation as is)
* Fix edge cases to match hyphens/dashes between dates
* Fix cases when a space was falsely added into a filename. (e.g. filename.js was falsely transformed into filename .js)

	* 5 mm x 5 mm x 5 mm → 5 mm⎵×⎵5 mm⎵×⎵5 mm
* Fix multiplication sign between words
	* š x v x h  → š⎵×⎵v⎵×⎵h (single letters)
	* mm x mm  → mm⎵×⎵mm (abbreviations)

## 2016-03-28
 * 1.0.0
 * correct single quotes and apostrophes
		* single quotes and apostrophes can be mixed and matched in various ways and it’s a bigger task to identify all of incorrectly used single quotes/apostrophes. However, we have thought about different means of how we could identify and correct the most common cases. We're now able to correct them with following assumptions:
				* Double quotes are used in pairs
				* Single quotes are used in pairs
				* Single quotes are used as secondary (ie. within double quotes, which is a convention for currently supported languages — en, sk, cs, rue — [check wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table_for_various_languages))
				* Single quotes are used with proper spacing (ie. a space before Left single quotation mark and a space after Right single quotation mark)
 * [Breaking change] refactor clean_typos() to fixTypos()
