wikidot-normalize

Simple library to provide Wikidot-compatible string normalization.

Wikidot normal form is used in the site's page names. Essentially it ensures the following:

• All ASCII is lowercase.
• All characters outside of _, :, a-z, 0-9, or - are replaced with dashes.
• Any leading or trailing dashes are removed.
• Any set of multiple dashes are replaced with a single dash.
• Any set of multiple slashes are replaced with a single slash.
• Any trailing slashes are removed.

Examples:

• "Big Cheese Horace" -> "big-cheese-horace"
• "bottom--Text" -> "bottom-text"
• "Tufto's Proposal" -> "tufto-s-proposal"
• "-test-" -> "test"
