URL Slugs.
Blog platforms, CMSs, and static-site generators all want the same thing: a short, readable, URL-safe identifier derived from a headline. Pick kebab, snake, or dot case; strip accents and filler words; cap the length; preview the full path.
What makes a good slug
Lowercase, no spaces, no special characters, short enough to share. Kebab-case (my-post-title) is the default for blogs and docs. Snake_case shows up in APIs and filenames. Dot.case appears in some CMS permalinks.
Accent stripping uses Unicode NFKD — café becomes cafe, not a percent-encoded mess. Stop-word removal drops common fillers (the, a, and) so headlines read cleaner in the URL bar. Max length trims on a separator boundary when it can.
