Feature Request

Hi, Pelican is great!

I wanted to give style to specific words in the SITENAME and AUTHOR, that are usually displayed at the top of the generated home page, which means adding html tags in those variables. However, this is inappropriate in the metadata and in the <title> fields of the html page (because it shows the raw text).

Specifically, my SITENAME is something like: firstname <span class="smallcaps">lastname</span>.

Is there a way to tolerate html markup in these variables, and tell Pelican or the jinja2 template to strip it away when needed?

Thanks!

OK I got it, I'm sorry I was not familiar with the templating system.

I realize it's dependent on the template files, exclusively. Mine was using the theme "Peli-Kiera".
The simple theme also does not handle it.

So we could write this in all templates:

{{ SITENAME|striptags }}

Putting HTML tags in the SITENAME and AUTHOR settings is a use case that was neither anticipated nor supported in Pelican, so I think it is up to theme maintainers to add |striptags in the appropriate places in theme templates if that is a use case they wish to support.

Thanks. This makes sense. This pull request updates the default themes, just in case.
