Looking for a function that formats special characters

Shawn Ebeyer asked on February 8, 2016 21:20

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a Kentico function that can take a word that contains special characters (Montrèal for example), strips away any special characters, and replaces them with regular characters. "e" in this case.

Any help with some syntax examples would be amazing.

Thanks in advance,

Shawn

Where would this be used in your site? Front-end(macro)? Back-end code(C#)?

Hi Joshua,

This would be used in a macro if possible (front-end).

Thanks,

Hi,

I think the best way would be to use the function Zachary Perry mentioned above and create your own custom macro.
