Use cases

FAQ

What happens to punctuation?

Punctuation is converted into separators, then repeated separators are collapsed into a clean final slug.

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Yes. Change the separator option when your route convention uses underscores.

Why can output be empty?

If the source text contains only removable characters, the tool can return an empty result and should surface that clearly.
