Remove accents on tags url

[eamaral92]

I've made a tag cloud on Jekyll with jekyll-tagging plugin. The plugin works fine, but when o need to iterate trough tags and append the name to a url, the accents still there, wich causes a error, even with the slugfy method. I'm new with RUBY and i didn't found any native RUBY method to remove the accents, even on Jekyll.

The solution would be to replace the current implementation of jekyll_tagging_slug in the Helper module https://github.com/pattex/jekyll-tagging/blob/76fbc51bc644c660144ed9f6a1b0a854b23ee0f8/lib/jekyll/tagging.rb#L15 with the following line

Jekyll::Utils::slugify(str.to_s, mode: 'latin', cased: true)

What you can to work around this without forking the plugin (based on the activity it seems unlikely this will get fixed):

1. In your Jekyll website source code create a folder _plugins.

2. In the _plugins folder, create a new file with arbitrary name (e.g. tagging.rb) and the following content

   require 'jekyll/tagging'
   
   module Jekyll
     module Helpers
       def jekyll_tagging_slug(str)
         Jekyll::Utils::slugify(str.to_s, mode: 'latin', cased: true)
       end
     end
   end

3. Remove the existing registration of jekyll/tagging from the gems/plugins in your _config.yml, or require 'jekyll/tagging' from _plugins/ext.rb, which is the method described in this repository README.
