Pro tips
  • ·Pick your separator before generating, switching between hyphens and underscores later means re-running every slug.
  • ·Check accented titles carefully; normalization is close to correct but always worth a quick visual review for unusual characters.
  • ·For non-Latin scripts, expect to handle transliteration separately since the generator focuses on Latin-based text.
