String_value
Values are stored as string, but whenever a variable or drop is called, Silverfin will try to infer it's type (string, number, etc). In some situation we could prefer to avoid this and render the value always as a string.
{% input custom.some.field %}
Value: {{ custom.some.field }}
String value: {{ custom.some.field.string_value }}
Url_encode
Replaces any URL-unsafe character with three characters: a percent sign and the corresponding Hex value of the character replaced.

{% capture formatted_text %}This is a <i>text</i>.<br>There is some <strong>HTML</strong>.<br>Which we want to <sup>remove</sup>{% endcapture %}

MD5
Converts a string into an MD5 hash so developers are able to produce hashes of values. Can be used to protect sensitive information. MD5 is one of the most widely used hashing algorithms.
{% assign person_national_number = "920711-216-81" %}
{{ person_national_number | md5 }}
---
{% assign person_national_number = person_national_number | md5 %}
{% input custom.[person_national_number].name %}
Transliterate
Transliterates strings based on the Unicoder library. This library converts Unicode [and accented ASCII] characters to their plain-text ASCII equivalents. The filter is particularly useful to transliterate special characters like é, è, ä, etc.
{% input custom.person.full_name %}
{{ custom.person.full_name | transliterate }}
