 * Is a there a way to sanitize fields before its made into a permalink?So i’m doing
   album reviews and i have two fields: artist_name and album_name. And then my 
   permalink settings are /album-reviews/%field_artist_name%/%field_album_name%/
   but if you put this: artist_name: Daft Punk album_name: Random Access Memories,
   the url tries to keep the capitalizedjh letters and the spaces. Is there a way
   to make it go all lowercase and perhaps replace spaces with a dash?
