Description
This is a Punctuation dumbening plugin. It's basically the reverse of the PunctuationSmarten plug-in, by DiapDealer. It has minimal configuration -- just pick the files and run.
I read eBooks on older devices (webOS tablets, circa 2011) that can't render fancy new HTML entities for things like smart quotes. They just end up garbled. This plug-in replaces the entities for smart quotes, ellipsis, and other common modern niceties with their simpler equivalents, readying content for consumption on older devices.
** NOTE: this plugin periodically checks for updated versions by connecting to github (where the source is maintained) when run (at most once every 12 hours.) **
Installation
* Select Manage Plugins from the Plugins menu. In the dialog box, select either the Bundled Python or External Python (Python should be installed on your computer to run this plugin externally).
* Click Add Plugin and select PunctuationDumben_vx.x.x.zip . This will load and install the plugin into Sigil
The source for this plugin can be found here:

Usage
* From the Sigil menus, choose Plugins > Edit > PunctuationDumben
* In the pop-up, select the files to simplify
* Press OK, and wait a few seconds -- that's it!
