Type: modifier

With a value of "1" encodes the tag value into a string suitable for usage in a file or directory name.

"Dirification" is a multi-step process. First the value is converted to lower case. Any HTML tags and entities are stripped. Characters that are not alphanumeric, the underscore (_) or whitespace characters (i.e. space, tab) are stripped. Finally whitespace characters are converted to an underscore characters.

The modifier dirify also converts certain high-ASCII characters (accented characters, etc) to their low-ASCII characters, meaning that something like "crudité" will be converted to crudite.

For example, if the value of the tag without this attribute were:

• Foo "Baz" is Bar!

...then the dirified version would be

• foo_baz_is_bar

Example

<mt:tagname dirify="1" />
