AsciiTic¶ ↑

A Rails plugin for extending String with “simplyfying” (thus ascetic) operations.

About ¶ ↑

Check out lib/ascii_tic.rb for module that’s used to extend String class on load. Current methods:

• strip_html – self-explanatory

• to_ascii_brutal – convert diactric unicode charaters to their ascii equivalents, most useful for creating permalinks

• to_permalink – convert all non-alphanumeric characters to dashes

Example¶ ↑

>> "zażółć gęślą jaźń".to_ascii_brutal
=> "zazolc gesla jazn"
>> "zażółć gęślą jaźń".to_ascii_brutal.to_permalink
=> "zazolc-gesla-jazn"
