Typography Rules · practical reference

Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish

Compare the actual language choice; Nordic publishing is not one interchangeable quotation system.

Decide what the text is meant to follow

  • Are quote marks symmetric under the intended convention?
  • Which date order and currency context is appropriate?
  • Is the string a retained source example?

Interpret the example in context

Symmetric quotation marks can require human interpretation of opening/closing roles.

The model records separate quote, date, numeric and currency conventions. Where a supported quote pair is symmetric, glyph validation does not establish linguistic direction. Review the complete quoted span and publication style instead of borrowing a neighbouring language’s pair.

Inspect the current plugin model

These fields describe the built-in plugin defaults. Read Language & rules for the policy actually used in your inspection; a custom team profile can differ. The defaults are not a universal style guide and do not promise equal rule coverage. Expand a specific locale to compare its expectations.

Use the rule’s actual contextual evidence

Use the language evidence deliberately

  1. Check paragraph-language attributes, intended publication convention and actual active policy.
  2. Inspect representative text and read the resolved language and coverage in the panel.
  3. Review complete quotations, numeric source values and relevant line boundaries before any edit.
  4. Apply intended policy changes and inspect again. Retain intentional source differences and obtain competent language review where needed.
