Facts and limits of this method
| Word | A run of non-whitespace characters between spaces and line breaks |
|---|---|
| Line breaks | Not preserved — the whole text turns into a single stream of words |
| Dash by default | A ready-made slug format: "text-as-a-slug" |
| Case | Unchanged — letters stay exactly as they were in the input |
When it misleads you
- The tool doesn't change letter case or transliterate Cyrillic — if you need a slug made only of Latin letters and digits (a common CMS requirement), run the text through a transliterator and case converter first.
- Punctuation attached to a word ("word,", "word.") is carried into the result as part of the word — it isn't stripped or separated automatically before joining.
- Multi-line text fully loses its paragraph and line structure — every word from every line is merged into one flat list with no record of which line it came from.
- If the text already contains a character matching the chosen delimiter (a dash inside a word like "well-known"), it becomes visually indistinguishable from the delimiter between words after joining.
How it is calculated
The text is searched for the pattern "a run of non-whitespace characters" — this produces a list of words regardless of which line they were originally on.
The words are merged into one string with the chosen delimiter: space, underscore, dash, or the value from the "custom delimiter" field.
Punctuation and other characters sitting right next to a word remain part of it and carry over into the result unchanged.
The counter shows how many individual words were found and joined.
Questions and answers
How do I make a proper URL slug?
First lowercase the text and transliterate Cyrillic to Latin with separate tools, then use this tool with a dash as the delimiter.
Are line breaks taken into account?
No, the whole text is treated as one continuous stream of words — the line and paragraph structure isn't preserved in the result.
Is punctuation removed before joining?
No, it stays attached to its word. If you need a clean result without punctuation, run the text through the punctuation-remover tool first.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No, all the processing runs in your browser.
