Using PageNameURL generator in templates

[sarah_hue]

Hi,

recently I asked a question regarding the PageNameURL generator. Is it also possible to use the generator within a template to create urls out of field content?

I have an array representing a list of names, some of them containing various special characters, i.e.:

• Tomas Tranströmer
• José Saramago
• Kenzaburō Ōe
• Gabriel García Márquez
• Halldór Laxness
• François Mauriac
• Władysław Reymont

Now I'd like to create urls like:

• /author/wladyslaw-reymont or
• /author/kenzaburo-oe

Is there a PageNameURL generator function I can use to convert the special characters?

Thanks a lot!

Sarah

Sure

$slug = $sanitizer->pageName($str, Sanitizer::translate);
