In Kumu, a slug is a piece of text that has had all letters converted to lowercase, all special characters removed, and all spaces replaced with hyphens. Kumu uses slugs in many different places:
- In the URL bar
- Inside of selectors
- In Markdown
- In the Advanced Editor
Knowing how to recognize, read, and write slugs is a skill that will come in handy, especially if you work in the Advanced Editor! Here are some sample slugs:
| Original text | Slug |
|---|---|
| My First Kumu Project | my-first-kumu-project |
| Honolulu, HI | honolulu-hi |
| Friends don't let friends map alone! | friends-dont-let-friends-map-alone |
