Re: [pmwiki-devel] Pages names such as Tūroa

[John Rankin]

There is a targeted local customisation which I think will work. In 
local/config.php the site could over-ride the default treatment of 
[[!Category]] markup. Try the following code:

$LongVowels = array (
    'A' => 'Ā',
    'a' => 'ā',
    'E' => 'Ē',
    'e' => 'ē',
    'I' => 'Ī',
    'i' => 'ī',
    'O' => 'Ō',
    'o' => 'ō',
    'U' => 'Ū',
    'u' => 'ū');
function MacronHelper($match) {
  global $LongVowels;
  return $LongVowels[$match[1]];
}
Markup('[[!','<[[','/\\[\\[!(.*?)\\]\\]/',
  function ($m) use(&$pagename) {
    $text = preg_replace_callback('/\{([AEIOUaeiou])\}/', 
"MacronHelper", $m[1]);
    return Keep(MakeLink($pagename, 
$GLOBALS['CategoryGroup'].'/'.$m[1], $text, '', 
$GLOBALS['LinkCategoryFmt']), 'L')
  } );
With this code, writing [[!T{u}roa]] should create a link to page 
Category.Turoa with the link text T&#363;roa. Links to categories 
without long vowels, such as [[!Akaroa]] should continue to work.

The {a} {e} {i} {o} {u} markup will only work inside category markup. A 
more general solution which would work anywhere in the text would need a 
further markup rule.

Hope this helps.

Interesting; I did not know that.

A markup rule that translates [[!Turoa|+]] into [[Category.Turoa|+]] 
might work, although category markup uses a special categorylink class 
in the <a> link generated. Or you could introduce a local category 
markup rule just for this purpose, for example so that [[!T`uroa]] is 
turned into [[Category.Turoa|T#363;roa]] (ie look for "`[aeiouAEIOU]" 
inside category link markup, then process as a category link). The 
rule would have to fully process the link markup, as it needs to use 
the category link format, with the correct class attribute.

A bit more investigation is needed, I think.

Thanks, it actually came about because I was trying to use [[!Tūroa]] 
for which there is no markup [[!Turoa|+]]

    One (least work) option would be to name the page Turoa, and add
    (:title T#363;roa:) to the page text. You would want to use
    [[Turoa |+]] when linking to the page.

    Any suggestions on how I can create page names such as T#363;roa.

    I have an older wiki - not UTF8.

    Would it work to add characters such as āēīōū to the valid page
    name character set
    (BTW please point me to the page where this is documented, I
    couldn't easily find it - closest I could get to was
    https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BasicVariables#NamePattern but
    has no detail)

    thanks
