DESCRIPTION

This is a Template Toolkit filter which handles conversion of International Domain Names from UTF-8 to ASCII (in Punycode encoding) and vice versa.

USAGE

Include [% USE Filter.IDN %] in your template. Then you will be able to use the idn filter to encode or decode International Domain Names. The filter takes a single required argument which is the action that is requested. The must be one of the following values:

  • to_ascii

    Convert a UTF-8 label to Punycode. If the string is already an ASCII string, the original string will be passed through the filter.

  • encode

    This is an alias for to_ascii. Think "encode" to Punycode.

  • to_utf8

    Convert a Punycode label to UTF-8. If the string is not a Punycode string, then the original string will be passed through the filter.

  • decode

    This is an alias for to_utf8. Think "decode" from Punycode.
