About these characters

Use in your app npm

The same text, language and rules.

npm install @typehug/en

Your example

import { glue } from "@typehug/en";

const text = "I brought a notebook. We have 30 min to turn a good idea into a first draft.";

const result = glue(text);

Use Typehug

Install the language you need. Pass in your text.

npm install @typehug/en

English rules and the shared engine. No Polish rules included.

ESM TypeScript Node.js 22+

Plain text

import { glue } from "@typehug/en";

glue("I have a question.");

Output

I have a question.

Returns a string with Unicode nonbreaking spaces. Render it as text, including in React.

HTML and formatted text More examples

HTML

import { glueHtml } from "@typehug/en/html";

glueHtml("I have a <b>question</b>.");

Output

I have a question.

Joins across inline formatting. Importing /html loads the parser.

Formatted runs

import { glueRuns } from "@typehug/en";

glueRuns([
  { text: "I have a " },
  { text: "question.", bold: true },
]);

Output

I have a question.

Preserves formatting metadata and leaves the input objects unchanged.

Examples use English. With @typehug/all, pass { locale: "en" } or { locale: "pl" } as the second argument. HTML is parsed and serialized, so entity spellings and markup may normalize.
