Quick start

===========

DiacriticsFu::escape("éphémère")

=> "ephemere"

DiacriticsFu::escape("räksmörgås")

=> "raksmorgas"

What?

=====

A small library to remove accents from a string. Relies on ActiveSupport.

Created because I needed a simple way to remove most diacritics from French sentences, while generating slugs (url) for a CMS (either Mephisto or ComatoseCMS).

Nb: this approach is not the fastest way to achieve this. It's good enough for me though.

Testing

=======

You can run the spec against the latest available ActiveSupport using "rake spec".

To run the tests against all installed ActiveSupport versions, use "rake spec_multi"
