Slugs

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:
