(You don't have JavaScript enabled. If you did, you'd be able to see the handy-dandy fixers we have for reformatting text.)

The below button runs the selected formatting fixers for you.

To run the fixer, first select the text in the edit box that you wish to reformat, then click the button. The handaku/dakuten fixer should be fine to run on an entire page, but for the rest, be careful that only Japanese text is selected.

The fixer does not work in IE (as of IE 8), but it should work in other popular browsers. However, it works better in Chrome than in Firefox, because Firefox scrolls back to the top after running the fixer, and Chrome doesn't. Hence, if you're running the fixer on many small bits of text, you might prefer to use Chrome.
