XHTML Typography Plugin, both "full" and "light" versions.

This plugin converts certain characters into typographically correct entities. Quotes are converted to curly quotes, hyphens into em-dashes, three periods into ellipsis, etc.

There are two ways to use this plugin depending on whether you want double line breaks turned into <p> tags.

The “light” version is used this way:

{exp:xhtml:light}
 text you want processed
{/exp:xhtml:light}

The full version like this:

{exp:xhtml:full}
  text you want processed
{/exp:xhtml:full}

This plugin is extremely useful when you do a lot of custom queries and don’t have the benefit of EE’s automatic text formatting. EE field data often needs to be escaped before you can manipulate it with PHP directly, but plugins like this bypass that issue altogether.
