Content Mappings

Currently there are a couple of hard-coded aliases in the word splitter.

There are a couple of others that probably should be offered, and it'd be better if this were something that users could configure instead of requiring a new release each time.

Proposal

Something like a mappings.json, which would probably be json-c (json with comments, possibly tolerating a trailing comma...):

{
  "&(?:apos|#39|#x27|%27);|'{2,}": "'",
  "&(?:quot|#34|#x22|%22);": "\"",
  "\\(aq": "'"
}

hard-coded

Right Single Quotation Mark

This happened enough that it was worth supporting before I wrote a proper module for it.

Right Single Quotation Mark (’)

   # https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2019/
   my $rsqm = "\xE2\x80\x99";
   s/$rsqm/'/g;

html entity encoded single quote

apostrophe (')

  s/\&(?:apos|#39|#x27);/'/g;

Future

Ligatures

ﬃ -> ffi
ﬀ -> ff

HTML Entities

It might make sense to just teach the tool to convert all HTML entities into their pretty forms...

The main ones that I'm considering are:

html entity encoded double quotes

quotation mark (")

  s/\&(?:quot|#34|#x22);/"/g;

troff

apostrophe (')

  s/\\(aq/'/g
