dirify

Converts the input into a filename-friendly format. This strips accents from accented characters and changes spaces into underscores (or dashes, depending on parameter).

The dirify parameter can be either "1", "-" or "_". "1" is equivalent to "_".

Example:

    <$mt:EntryTitle dirify="-"$>

which would translate an entry titled "Cafe" into "cafe".

This filter will also accept a specific string to use as the separator. So, to "dashify" whatever you're modifying, for example, set dirify="-"
