Takes a string, sanitizes it for usage in URLs, and converts spaces to hyphens.

Syntax

urlize INPUT

The following examples pull from a content file with the following front matter:

content/blog/greatest-city.md

+++
title = "The World's Greatest City"
location = "Chicago IL"
tags = ["pizza","beer","hot dogs"]
+++

The following might be used as a partial within a single page template :

layouts/partials/content-header.html

<header>
    <h1>{{.Title}}</h1>
    {{ with .Params.location }}
        <div><a href="/locations/{{ . | urlize}}">{{.}}</a></div>
    {{ end }}
    <!-- Creates a list of tags for the content and links to each of their pages -->
    {{ with .Params.tags }}
    <ul>
        {{range .}}
            <li>
                <a href="/tags/{{ . | urlize }}">{{ . }}</a>
            </li>
        {{end}}
    </ul>
    {{ end }}
</header>

The preceding partial would then output to the rendered page as follows, assuming the page is being built with Hugo’s default pretty URLs.

/blog/greatest-city/index.html

The World's Greatest City
