 Pelican can nicely handle tags with whitespaces (for example `#My nice article`) but in Mastodon they must be written without. For this reason all whitespaces from Pelican hashtags will be removed before publishing (`#Mynicearticle`).

+You can use the `ftags` metadata to add specific tags to a Fediverse post without including Pelican hashtags.
