[TYPO3-core] FYI: Added feature #15885: htmlArea RTE: Add option to remove typographical punctuation (Thanks to Daniel Schwarzloh)

[Stanislas Rolland]

FYI: The attached SVN patch was committed.

Type:
Feature

Problem:
Quoting Daniel Schwarzloh:
«Using 'rtehtmlarea' as our main texteditor in TYPO3, we asserted that 
our editorial department frequently pastes text from MS Word into the 
RTE. For various reasons, we decided to replace some of the 
typographical punctuation MS Word uses by default - such as 'curly 
quotes', 'guillemets', 'ellipsis', 'hyphen' etc. - with ASCII characters.»

Solution:
«Therefore we extended the JavaScript used by the plug-in 'RemoveFormat' 
to include an additional checkbox in the popup window to replace 
typographical punctuation with their ASCII representation.

Talking to other TYPO3 developers, we were struck that this additional 
functionality of text cleanup might be useful for others as well.»

Note:
Many thanks to Daniel Schwarzloh for sharing this work.
