I am using acts\_as\_tagged\_on\_steriods for tagging which works well for  
single word tags.

When clicking on tags with multiple words (tags with spaces in them -  
ex: “ruby rails”), spaces are also displayed in URL.

How do I eliminate those spaces in URL?. I tried using permalink, by  
creating a Tag model but it didn’t work.

Any ideas?
