[pmwiki-devel] Formatting page names

[Petko Yotov]

$MakePageNamePatterns has rules calculating the page name Group.PageName 
from a string like "page name". It seems you need a way to "space" page 
names like in {PageName$Namespaced} or in {(asspaced text)}, that's the 
opposite.

Spacing is done by the function AsSpacedUTF8($text) which converts a 
string with WikiWords into a spaced version of that string. It can be 
overridden via $AsSpacedFunction:

   $AsSpacedFunction = 'SimonAsSpaced';
   function SimonAsSpaced($text) {
     $text = AsSpacedUTF8($text);
     $text = preg_replace('/([A-Z])\\s+(\\d)/', '$1$2', $text);
     return $text;
   }

Here, instead of rewriting the whole AsSpacedUTF8() function, we call 
it, then undo the damage it did to our text.

With this, "{E1Freeway$Namespaced}" will print "E1 Freeway".

Alternatively, you can copy the full AsSpacedUTF8() function to 
config.php under a different name, adapt it, and set the 
$AsSpacedFunction variable to the new name.
