Remove accents from generated taxonomy pages url

[postb99]

Hello,

On my live site, I found out that urls with accents don't work.

Look at https://poesieland.free.fr/categories/ then follow the first link of the page.

Locally it work fine.

Is this a server issue? Maybe the taxonomy pages could use normalized version of category/tag name when being generated?

This seems to be a server issue as I could not reproduce it neither with your used version of the theme nor the current head in main.

As far as I know file name normalization is not done by Hugo and is not configurable.

You could probably add a custom term page and adding slug to it - but that's just a wild guess. Also, this would be a hassle as you have to add such a page for every term that contains accents.

The best way seems to be, changing the server configuration.

Since I don't have control over server configuration, and anyways didn't find what could be relevant, I took a second look at Hugo's feature and the aforementioned configuration option works, is still supported and handles "é" and "è", so here is the magic option: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#removepathaccents
