It seems that I can't use Polish characters in post title.
When I try to do it, then I can see error message: "Błąd: bad page name".
I hope it's a bug, not a feature and you fix it soon :) --Pawel
ikiwiki only allows a very limited set of characters raw in page names,
this is done as a deny-by-default security thing. All other characters
need to be encoded in code format, where "code" is the character
number. This is normally done for you, but if you're adding a page
manually, you need to handle it yourself. --[[Joey]]
Assume I have my own blog and I want to send a new post with Polish
characters in a title. I think it's totally normal and common thing
in our times. Do you want to tell me I shouldn't use my native
characters in the title? It can't be true ;)
In my opinion encoding of title is a job for the wiki engine,
not for me. Joey, please try to look at a problem from my point
of view. I'm only user and I don't have to understand
what the character number is. I only want to blog :)
BTW, why don't you use the modified-UTF7 coding for page names
as used in IMAP folder names with non-Latin letters? --Pawel
Joey, do you intend to fix that bug or it's a feature
for you? ;) --Pawel
Of course you can put Polish characters in the title. but the page
title and filename are not identical. Ikiwiki has to place some limits
on what filenames are legal to prevent abuse. Since
the safest thing to do in a security context is to deny by default and
only allow a few well-defined safe things, that's what it does, so
filenames are limited to basic alphanumeric characters.
It's not especially hard to transform your title into get a legal
ikiwiki filename:
joey@kodama:~>perl -MIkiWiki -le 'print IkiWiki::titlepage(shift).".mdwn"' "Błąd"
B__197____130____196____133__d.mdwn
Thanks for the hint! It's good for me, but rather not for common users :)
Interesting... I have another result:
perl -MIkiWiki -le 'print IkiWiki::titlepage(shift).".mdwn"' "Błąd"
B__179____177__d.mdwn
What's your locale? I have both pl_PL (ISO-8859-2) and pl_PL.UTF-8,
but I use pl_PL. Is it wrong? --Pawel
Now, as to UTF7, in retrospect, using a standard encoding might be a
better idea than coming up with my own encoding for filenames. Can
you provide a pointer to a description to modified-UTF7? --[[Joey]]
The modified form of UTF7 is defined in RFC 2060
for IMAP4 protocol (please see section 5.1.3 for details).
There is a Perl Unicode::IMAPUtf7
module at the CPAN, but probably it hasn't been debianized yet :( --Pawel
