Features

Writing mixed CJK(Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters and Latin characters can be a pain because of the special effort to take on the format. This plugin comes in to automatically reformat topic titles and post contents for you, utilizing autocorrect-rb.

Every time a topic/post is created or updated, its content (and title) will get:

  • added space between CJK (full width) and Latin (half-width) character
  • corrected punctuation adjacent to CJK character into full-width
  • corrected punctuation adjacent to Latin character into half-width

Configuration

After installation, it will work for new posts.

To reformat all historic posts, use rake:

rake cjk:reformat
rake posts:rebake

Disclaimer

Before use, be sure to learn about how the autocorrect tool will modify your content and backup your data before continue!
