Confused about tags with spaces or and capital letters

[sabelapaulo]

Let's say I've some front matter like this:

---

tags:

• "tag with spaces"

• Capital

Now what I'm hoping for is http://example.com/tags/tag-with-spaces and http://example.com/tags/capital. In other words the spaces get converted to hyphens and the capital letters get converted to lowercase.

But instead I get http://example.com/tags/tag%20with%20spaces and http://example.com/Capital

The result is as desired however with the title being set to title: Tagged “{{ tag }}” in the frontmatter. I want to keep the spaces and and capital letters in the title but NOT in the permalink. Is there any way to do this?

There is an ongoing discussion about changing this behavior: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/278

Tags are case sensitive by default, and using the slug or slugify filters are what you want to convert the tag strings into URL friendly permalink values.

slugify: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/filters/slugify/

Some discussion about tag normalization is happening at https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/2462 if you’d like to follow along further!
