## Description

Convert Greek characters to Latin (greeklish)
 Using [greeklish-permalinks](https://github.com/dyrer/greeklish-permalinks)
with some extra functionality.

### Features

 * Converts post, pages, taxonomy and category slugs to greeklish automatically
 * Hooks in the sanitize_title() function
 * You can use `skp_greeklish_slugs($your_text)` in your template files (good for
   dynamic css classes etc.)
 * Select to strip out 1 letter words
 * Select to strip out 2 letter words
 * Define stop words that will be striped out of the slugs
 * You can modify the translitaration array of regex via `apply_filter('skp_greeklish_slugs_expressions','
   your_callback')`

### Filter the regex array

You can use `apply_filter('skp_greeklish_slugs_expressions', 'your_callback')` and
modify the regex array used to transliterate

    ```
    <?php
    function your_callback( $expressions ) {
        // the $expressions parameter is the array with all expressions used

      // view the expressions
      var_damp( expressions )

      // Change/remove items
        $new_expressions = array(
        ...
        '/[μΜ][πΠ]/u' => 'mp',
        '/[νΝ][τΤ]/u' => 'nt',
        '/[τΤ][σΣ]/u' => 'ts'
        ...
        );

        // Add them
        $expressions = array_merge( $new_expressions, $expressions );

        return $expressions;
    }
    add_filter( 'skp_greeklish_slugs_expressions', 'your_callback' );
    ?>
    ```
