Non-English Tag

[Haisheng Wu]

What if I need non-English tags, for instance Chinese tags, what I
should do to make it work?
I'm a haskell newbie..

I took a quick try, seems the only problem is that while auto
generating html file for each tag,
it did not put the Chinese characters as file name.
While I manually fix the generated html file name, it works well.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I quickly tried to reproduce it here, the tag files *did* seem to get
written, however, the preview server could not find them. Anyway, I
suppose this depends a lot on the used file system... could you give
us some more details?

* what are the tags?
* what filenames *does* hakyll generate?
* if possible, could you provide the source code?

Cheers,
Jasper

Hello,
I faced something like this — I use hakyll to generate website in Czech
and tags with some special characters (like ěščřžýáíé) caused problems.
The solution I used was to define custom route that stripped those
characters. Maybe you could use similar approach.

> match "tags/*" $ do
> route $ customRoute tagToRoute
> ...

> tagToRoute :: Identifier -> FilePath
> tagToRoute = (++".html") . map toLower . stripDiacritics . toFilePath
>
> stripDiacritics :: String -> String
> stripDiacritics str = foldl (\s (f,t) -> replace f t s) str diacritics
>
> replace :: Eq a => a -> a -> [a] -> [a]
> replace _ _ [] = []
> replace f r (x:xs)
> | f == x = r : replace f r xs
> | otherwise = x : replace f r xs
>
> diacritics :: [(Char, Char)]
> diacritics = [ ('ě', 'e'), ('š', 's'), ('č', 'c'), ('ř', 'r'),
> ('ž', 'z'), ('ý', 'y'), ('á', 'a'), ('í', 'i'),
> ('é', 'e')]

Thanks and sounds good for only few tags!

Thanks Lubomír Sedlář. The "work around" works for me.

Another question comes up:
`(++".html")` turns out to be something duplicated impl with
`(setExtension "html")`

Are we able to glue Routes together as Arrows or Monad like what
Compiler in Hakyll?
I mean something like below:
~~~~~~
route $ do customeRoute myRoute
>>= (setExtension "html")
~~~~~~

thanks.

Hello,

You can use composeRoutes [1] for this purpose

Really cool...and sorry for answering such naive question..

BTW, did you have any update on the first problem?
I means failed to generate non-English tag page.

Haven't had any access to my development machine. I hope to resolve it tomorrow.

Hello Jasper,
You could find source code at :
https://github.com/freizl/dive-into-haskell/tree/master/web/hakyll/hakyllsample.

I'm tested at platform: ubuntu 10.11, ghc-7.0.3, hakyll-3.2.6.1
You could find near line 48 in order to reproduce the issue.

I'm trying to dig the cause. If you would like to help it out, that
will be great!

Thanks.

This is a actually a old bug regarding to ghc which has been fixed
ghc-7.2.x.

Since I'm still using ghc-7.0.2, I need a workaround which not
supposed to be into hakyll.

hi, I encountered exactly the same problem, and patched hakyll source code. Please use my forked source code on Github. https://github.com/hwa/hakyll
