Examples

Basic Examples (1)

Out[3]=

Out[4]=

Don’t transliterate:

In[5]:=
ResourceFunction["SlugifyString"]["Vigenère Cipher", IgnoreDiacritics -> True]
Out[5]=

Use a different separator character:

In[6]:=
ResourceFunction["SlugifyString"]["This is a sample title", "SeparatorCharacter" -> "_"]
Out[6]=

Combining options:

In[7]:=
ResourceFunction["SlugifyString"]["This Is A Sample Title", "ForceLowerCase" -> False, "SeparatorCharacter" -> ""]
