Title case tags don't work

You can use {{ category | category_link }} to get the correct link, but you have to adjust the CSS as well.

If you want title case on a tag name, use {{ category | titlecase }}.

I could do that, but I don't want title case tags all the time. To avoid 404 pages (as I got), I thought, using the generated link would be cleaner and safer.

Using category_link, however, does not allow to me use the hover-over badge effect that is currently in the theme. I tried to copy exactly what the category_generator.rb plugin does for generating a category link.

Here's what I changed in category_generator.rb Line 176: "#{category}" # JSB: Changed for octoflat theme

I then reverted _includes\post\categories.html and manually corrected _includes\article with {{ post.categories | category_links }}.

In the process of responding I wanted something a little more clean. I changed octopress_filters.rb to include stringex and created this function at the bottom:

Returns the output of the stringex to_url

def to_url(input) input.to_url end

Then in categories and articles I changed the href section to "category | to_url". Neither approach feels terribly clean but they should work. The approach I went with was the second option because it opens up stringex to be used in more places.

Lastly, I caveat all of this by saying I'm a noob and a Ruby noob at that too. A lot already exists but luckily this was a simple enough change. Thanks for bringing this up as I was wondering why my other theme had lowercase proper urls while this one adhered to the title cased tags I have in posts.

Should've remembered Github would mangle the liquid markup. Basically I wrapped the badge span around the anchor text. The category_index include used by category_generator uses the category_links function call so this approach has the effect of unifying the badge. I wasn't sure if that was an oversight or on purpose.

Tags can now be made in any type of case. The links in the tag will use lowercase now. I think this solves your issue.
