Question 1

What is a slug?

Accepted Answer

A slug is the URL-friendly version of a string. It contains only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens — no spaces or special characters. For example "Hello World!" becomes "hello-world". Slugs are used in blog post URLs, product pages and category paths.

Question 2

Does it handle accented characters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Accented characters like é, ü, ñ, ç are converted to their ASCII equivalents (e, u, n, c) before slugifying, so "Café au lait" becomes "cafe-au-lait".

Question 3

Can I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Accepted Answer

Yes — select the underscore separator option. Note that hyphens are generally preferred for SEO as Google treats hyphens as word separators, while underscores are treated as word joiners.
