[--max-length MAX_LENGTH] [--word-boundary] [--save-order] [--separator SEPARATOR]
[--stopwords STOPWORDS [STOPWORDS ...]] [--regex-pattern REGEX_PATTERN]
[--no-lowercase] [--replacements REPLACEMENTS [REPLACEMENTS ...]] [--allow-unicode]
[--algorithm {legacy,modern}] [--backend {auto,text-unidecode,unidecode,anyascii}]
[--replacement-stage {both,pre,post}]
[input_string ...]
Slug string
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--no-entities Do not convert HTML entities to unicode
--no-decimal Do not convert HTML decimal to unicode
--no-hexadecimal Do not convert HTML hexadecimal to unicode
--max-length MAX_LENGTH
Output string length, 0 for no limit
--word-boundary Truncate to complete word even if length ends up shorter than --max_length
--save-order When set and --max_length > 0 return whole words in the initial order
--separator SEPARATOR
Separator between words. By default -
--stopwords STOPWORDS [STOPWORDS ...]
Words to discount
--regex-pattern REGEX_PATTERN
Python regex pattern for disallowed characters
--no-lowercase Activate case sensitivity
--replacements REPLACEMENTS [REPLACEMENTS ...]
Additional replacement rules e.g. "|->or", "%->percent".
--allow-unicode Allow unicode characters
--algorithm {legacy,modern}
Slug algorithm (legacy default; modern explicitly opts into changed
output)
--backend {auto,text-unidecode,unidecode,anyascii}
Transliteration backend (auto preserves legacy preference)
--replacement-stage {both,pre,post}
Apply replacement rules before, after, or both sides of cleanup
Input
input_string Text to slugify
--stdin Take the text from STDIN
