you could use the markup _expression_ 'wikiword' by including the cookbook recipe
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MarkupExprPlus
The wikiword _expression_ will 'sanitise' a text, dots will be stripped, words will start with capitals, spaces will be stripped. G.M. Christopher or g.m.christopher will become GMChristopher

to post a link via a Fox form using an input field named 'author'
you could use this in the Fox template the form uses:

[[Profiles/{$$(wikiword '{$$author}')}]]

Note the use of two $$ in the markup _expression_, which means Fox will evaluate the _expression_ when it is posted, not when the page is loaded.


Best regards,
Hans
