Question 1

What is a URL slug?

Accepted Answer

A slug is the URL-friendly version of a title or phrase. It contains only lowercase letters, numbers, and separators (usually hyphens). For example, 'My Blog Post!' becomes 'my-blog-post'.

Question 2

How are diacritics and accented characters handled?

Accepted Answer

The tool uses Unicode NFD normalization to decompose accented characters into their base letter plus a combining mark, then strips the combining marks. So 'cafe' from 'café' is preserved correctly.

Question 3

Can I use a separator other than hyphens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can choose between hyphens (-), underscores (_), or dots (.) as the separator character.
