Hi Jed, Mark, Jeremy and Tony, Well, I finally did it. Created a macro borrowing a couple of lines from the FileSystemAdaptor.prototype.generateTiddlerBaseFilepath you suggested.
Although it does what I needed, I realized it is not as general as one could wish, since different tiddler titles could have the same "sanitized" result, so for other uses one would need to extend it with additional code, or treat the resulting string outside of the macro. This drawback considered, should it be of interest to someone else, where would it be better to post it? Regards, Marcio.
