I've added a few plugins to Movable Type:
Regular expressions for MT. I'm using this to strip out “index.html” from MTArchiveLink tags.
<MTAddRegex name="stripfile">s|/index\.[^/]+$|/|g</MTAddRegex> <$MTArchiveLink regex="stripfile"$>
Converts plain ASCII punctuation into fancy typographic punctuation (i.e., “smart quotes”). Also: three dots to ellipsis and two or three dashes to en- and em-dashes.
Add smarty_pants="1" to MT tags you want to convert.
SmartyPants also works in Blosxom and BBEdit.
An implementation of Textile, the “Humane Web Text Generator”. Provides a lot of shortcuts for HTML formatting. It appears as a new “Text Formatting” option on the new entry page. Uses SmartyPants automatically.
