Applet !Fluff
-------------

This applet corrects common typographical errors.

It was inspired by an extension script for Pagemaker written by Ulrik H.Gade.

When you click on the 'Fluff' entry on the applet menu, a number of
'errors' will be automatically corrected in the story which currently has
the caret in.

Beware! the program adopts a hard line position, no double spaces, no double
paragraph breaks etc.

However you can easily change the list of rules in the
!Fluff.Library.Fluff file.

After removing or adding a rule, you must resave the Fluff file, and then
quit and rerun OvationPro.

The full list of rules is;


 --double => single space
 --quadruple => triple period
 --triple period => ellipsis
 --delete space before ellipsis
