<p>When you publish a post or update an already published post, this plugin will format the post’s content to certain typographic rules:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>All hyphens between two words (surrounded by spaces) will be transformed to m-dashes with the non-breaking spaces ahead of them.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All hyphens between digits (without spaces) will be transformed to n-dashes. But it tries to preserve phone numbers.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All spaces following these words will be replaced with the non-breaking spaces:</p>
<ul>
<li>at</li>
<li>or </li>
<li>and</li>
<li>the</li>
<li>a</li>
<li>an</li>
<li>in</li>
<li>on</li>
<li>of</li>
<li>for</li>
<li>to</li>
<li>as</li>
<li>i</li>
<li>or</li>
<li>my</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Double and more spaces are replaced with the single ones.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>All misplaced spaces near dots, colons, semicolons, exclamation marks and question marks are fixed, where possible.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Composed words with hyphens in them (e.g. <em>easy-to-use</em>) will be wrapped in <code><nobr></nobr></code> tags.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code><pre></pre></code> tag and its contents are preserved.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Problems:</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>The plugin <strong>will not</strong> mess with the HTML tags or other mark-up tags delimited with < and >. It <strong>will</strong> mess with the Javascript code and such constructions as:</p>
<pre><code>    [code]
    bla bla bla
    [/code]
</code></pre>
<p>Though, since version 6, the mess is minimized for [code] and [video] tags.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The n-dash thing will mess up with the phone numbers that have only one hyphen in them. They will be confused with the value ranges.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p>The <strong>Orphans</strong> plugin automatically improves the typography of your WordPress site by preventing single-letter or very short words—known as <em>orphans</em>—from appearing alone at the beginning of a line. By replacing the space after these words with a non-breaking space, the plugin ensures cleaner, more professional-looking text layouts, especially for languages like Polish where such typographic rules are important.</p>
<h4>What are Orphans?</h4>
<p>An <em>orphan</em> in typography is a short word (often a single character) left isolated at the beginning of a line, separated from the rest of the sentence. This is considered a composition error and can negatively affect readability and the visual appeal of your content.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic Orphan Fixing:</strong> Scans your content and replaces spaces after short words (orphans) with non-breaking spaces, preventing them from being separated by line breaks.</li>
<li><strong>Customizable:</strong> Easily modify which words are treated as orphans using filters, or provide your own list of orphan terms.</li>
<li><strong>Non-Destructive:</strong> The plugin does not alter your original content in the database; changes are applied only when content is displayed.</li>
<li><strong>Builder and Plugin Integration:</strong> Seamless compatibility with popular page builders like Bricks, Divi, Muffin (beTheme), WPBakery, and Advanced Custom Fields.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Usage:</strong> Apply orphan fixes to custom fields or any string using provided filters.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>Once activated, Orphans automatically processes your posts, pages, and other content post types, fixing orphaned words on the fly. You can customize its behavior through the settings panel found under Appearance > Orphans, or extend functionality with WordPress filters for advanced use cases.</p>
<h4>Ideal For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Bloggers, publishers, and editors seeking to maintain high typographic standards.</li>
<li>Sites in languages (like Polish or Czech) where orphan control is a common publishing requirement.</li>
<li>Anyone wanting to enhance the professional appearance and readability of their WordPress content.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Open Source & Developer Friendly</h4>
<p>Orphans is open source, actively maintained, and available on <a href="https://github.com/iworks/sierotki" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> for those interested in contributing or extending its features.</p>
