About
This is a Calibre editing plugin to run the
ftfy algorithm on book content.
It can be used to fix "mojibake" and other gitches in Unicode text, for instance turning text like this:
> “’Sides, ’tis only for a moon. That ain’t long.�
Into this:
> "'Sides, 'tis only for a moon. That ain't long."
Usage
1. Install the plugin
2. Open Calibre, and open a book for editing
3. In the plugins menu, click the "FTFY Fix Text" entry.
4. If you like the changes that have been made, save the book or save a copy. If not, you can revert changes from the Edit->Revert to... menu item.
