Formatting Extender

Gaurav delivers another useful block editor tweak again! This plugin installs easily and does what it says, adding two of the most useful typographical tweaks every writer should have in their toolbox.

A Block editor must-have

There are very few formatting additions or changes that I would recommend outside of the norm. But this is one super simple plugin that offers just the right amount of improvements to always be in my toolkit of favorite first install drop-ins. It feels weird working on a site without this installed.

Simple Formatting must have.
