# 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](/guides/selectors.md)
* In [Markdown](/guides/profiles/markdown.md)
* In the [Advanced Editor](/overview/user-interfaces/view-editors.md#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`                                        |

| От Kumu с любовью                                                         | `от-kumu-с-любовью`                                                         |
