Windows doesn't allow parentheses in path
Following #39, I tried to use the date thingy to auto-date my articles, but it seems like () isn't a windows-compatible path character.
Hmm I don't think calling functions in filenames was meant to be allowed, it's extremely niche.
So uh, what about, as an alternative, aliases?
Like, you could define an alias for a given template in your template.toml and reuse that alias?
That would effectively fix every character problem that currently exists, and would be a fairly simple first-step treatment.
What do you think of that?
Hmm I'm not sure about that, it seems that it would make the content/configuration way more complex for some very nich usecases: templates are not rendered from what you see, you need to check the config file to know what it's going to be.
I just thought about something.
Can we use Tera in defaults?
That would allow to execute the function / filter combo, and I'd just need to skip the question.
I thought it was a great idea initially but I've changed my mind a bit. This opens people expecting to be able to use other variables in default expressions which might be amazing but I can't really of a usecase where I wouldn't just put the filters/fn in the files directly. That only leaves filenames/directories which we cover for basic filters without arguments not more complex/functions. I don't know if it's worth the complexity
