[pmwiki-devel] Pages names such as Tūroa

[John Rankin]

There is a targeted local customisation which I think will work. In 
local/config.php the site could over-ride the default treatment of 
[[!Category]] markup. Try the following code:

$LongVowels = array (
     'A' => 'Ā',
     'a' => 'ā',
     'E' => 'Ē',
     'e' => 'ē',
     'I' => 'Ī',
     'i' => 'ī',
     'O' => 'Ō',
     'o' => 'ō',
     'U' => 'Ū',
     'u' => 'ū');
function MacronHelper($match) {
   global $LongVowels;
   return $LongVowels[$match[1]];
}
Markup('[[!','<[[','/\\[\\[!(.*?)\\]\\]/',
   function ($m) use(&$pagename) {
     $text = preg_replace_callback('/\{([AEIOUaeiou])\}/', 
"MacronHelper", $m[1]);
     return Keep(MakeLink($pagename, 
$GLOBALS['CategoryGroup'].'/'.$m[1], $text, '', 
$GLOBALS['LinkCategoryFmt']), 'L')
   } );

With this code, writing [[!T{u}roa]] should create a link to page 
Category.Turoa with the link text Tūroa. Links to categories 
without long vowels, such as [[!Akaroa]] should continue to work.

The {a} {e} {i} {o} {u} markup will only work inside category markup. A 
more general solution which would work anywhere in the text would need a 
further markup rule.

Hope this helps.
