Publish: Support for lowercase and kebab-case slugs in URLs

Feature requests

Currently slugs generated for Obsidian Publish follow these rules:

  • Capitalization uses the folder or file title capitalization
  • Spaces are replaced by a + symbol

However clean web URLs typically use the following format:

  • Lowercase slugs
  • Dashes - to indicate spaces

It would be great if there was an option to use clean URLs for Publish URLs links.

Ideally this would be solved as a general setting site-wide. However, it could also be useful to enable a custom slug to be defined in the frontmatter.

Yes, I support your suggestion. Another option would also be to set it yourself via YAML. To give the user more freedom over what the slug should be.

As of April 18 2023, Publish supports the permalink YAML key which can be a workaround for this. See documentation:
