Polish Typography Rules
The PL profile covers Polish quotation forms, one-letter words, dates, numbers, currency, unit spacing, and selected titles.
This page is written in English. The locale codes describe the text being typeset and the convention Avellio applies; they do not indicate the language of this web page.
At a glance
Quotation marks
Primary „…” and nested ‚…’ are the Avellio profile model.
Punctuation spacing
Punctuation findings remain contextual around abbreviations, numeric strings, and quotations.
Non-breaking spaces
Selected one-letter words w, z, i, o, u, a should remain with the following word; exact cases are Review Queue candidates.
Dates
Dot and ISO date patterns are recognized.
Numbers
Space grouping and decimal comma are expected by the profile.
Currency
zł or PLN appears as a spaced suffix.
Units
Recognized number–unit pairs require protected spacing.
Regional variants
The PL profile is separate from Czech despite similar no-break concerns.
PLHouse-style caveat
The targeted dictionary is not a general Polish spelling or grammar service.
