Options for special characters in talk titles #54

Closed lawrenced closed 4 years ago

lawrenced commented 4 years ago

We have a speaker who's talk is called:

Elixir + Nerves + keys = Elixir keyboard!

But because the title is in the frontmatter these characters are removed leaving:

Elixir Nerves Keys Elixir Keyboard

/which doesnt make sense, the speaker has complained about this.

Can anything be done? Or would it need a rewrite of the site?

Seeing if this will fix it : https://github.com/esl/elixirconf-eu-jekyll/commit/72b4b2de99f017f7348d06bf37506fbcf5751547

hmm, talk now seems to have disappeared

fixed by this commit :

Original issue was that the front-matter didn't contain a title field so the title was being derived from the file name - original front-matter here.

We could make that field obligatory in forestry.io in order to ensure such thing doesn't happen in the future.

The behaviour when I changed the file name (bad idea) to include the special characters also worked.
