Plain Text Slug Generator FAQ
How is this different from the SEO slug tool?
This is the general transformer — filenames, ids, keys — and it makes no SEO claims. The URL Slug Creator on the SEO floor adds the URL-specific guidance; the mechanics are honest cousins.
Hyphen or underscore?
Hyphens for anything web-facing (URLs, filenames served online); underscores where a platform requires them (some databases and code identifiers). The tool doesn’t pretend one is universally right.
