🚀 Text Formatter (Acuity Utils) 1.x-1.3.0

This release is a major upgrade that expands the module from node-only formatting to a full entity-wide text normalisation system, with new support for user accounts, node titles, and improved data-cleaning controls.

---

✨ Highlights

🔹 Entity-wide formatting

Text formatting now works across all fieldable entities using hook_entity_presave(), not just nodes.

🔹 User account support

• New support for formatting user fields and usernames
• Uses hook_user_presave() to ensure compatibility with username generation modules
• Fully configurable via new Users admin tab

🔹 Title formatting (NEW)

• Apply formatting rules to node titles per content type
• Configure via new Titles tab

🔹 Collapse Spaces (NEW)

• Converts multiple spaces into a single space
  ("John Smith" → "John Smith")
• Available for:
  • Field widgets
  • Titles
  • Usernames

🔹 Improved custom replacements

• Now uses whole-word matching
• Prevents issues like:
  • Luke becoming LUKe
• Uses safe regex handling (preg_quote)

🔹 Cleaner admin interface

• New tabbed layout:
  • Global
  • Titles
  • Users
  • Custom Replacements
• Improved button styling using Backdrop-native patterns

---

🧠 Processing Pipeline

All formatting now follows a consistent pipeline:

• Trim → Collapse Spaces → Case Transform → Custom Replacements

---

🔐 Safety Improvements

• Formatting is explicitly opt-in
• Username formatting is configurable (not automatic)
• Prevents unintended data mutation or user lockouts
• All custom replacements are regex-safe and escaped

---

⚠️ Upgrade Notes

• Existing sites will automatically receive default config via update_1300()
• Username formatting is disabled by default — enable only if required
• Title formatting must be explicitly assigned per content type

---

💡 Recommended Usage

Context	Recommended Settings
Names	Trim + Collapse Spaces + Intercapped
Titles	Trim + Collapse Spaces + CamelCase

🐞 Bug Fixes
