webhelpers.text.urlify(string)
Create a URI-friendly representation of the string
Can be called manually in order to generate an URI-friendly
version of any string.
If the unidecode package is installed, it will also transliterate
non-ASCII Unicode characters to their nearest pronounciation
equivalent in ASCII.
Examples::
>>> urlify("Mighty Mighty Bosstones")
'mighty-mighty-bosstones'
webhelpers.text.remove_formatting(string)
Simplify HTML text by removing tags and several kinds of formatting.
If the unidecode package is installed, it will also transliterate
non-ASCII Unicode characters to their nearest pronunciation equivalent
in ASCII.
