The original typogrify repository has the jinja2 filters

Jinja2.

typogrify: Filters to make web typography easier

This application provides a set of custom filters for the Django template system which automatically apply various transformations to plain text in order to yield typographically-improved HTML.

Requirements

typogrify is designed to work with Django, and so requires a functioning installation of Django 0.96 or later. Also requires the Python port of John Gruber's SmartyPants for tokenization.

.._ Django: http://www.djangoproject.com/ .._ The Python port of John Gruber's SmartyPants: http://web.chad.org/projects/smartypants.py/

Installation

To install a packaged version of typogrify, download the latest package from Google Code_, and -- in the directory in which you downloaded it -- open a command line and do the following::

tar zxvf typogrify-0.2.tar.gz
cd typogrify-0.2
python setup.py install

This will perform a standard installation of typogrify.

Alternately, you can perform a Subversion checkout of the latest code; execute the following in a directory that's on your Python path::

svn checkout http://typogrify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/typogrify/

Once typogrify is installed on your system, you can add it to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of any Django project in which you wish to use it, and then use {% load typogrify %} in your templates to load the filters it provides.
