Un-hyphenated titles

I want My Article Title 1 for my article titles but I also want to use <txp:title /> in various links — for example, to obtain https://mysite.uk/my-article-title-1-something.jpg. Is there a way to add those hyphens to the unhyphenated title?

Re: Un-hyphenated titles

Does not txp:article_url_title fit this goal?

Re: Un-hyphenated titles

Thanks! I overlooked that tag. It would do it if I wasn’t adding any keywords to my url-only titles. I might make this work if there isn’t another way.

Try this:

<txp:title trim=" " replace="-" />

Re: Un-hyphenated titles

trim and replace. Perfect! Thanks Stef!

Edit. I looked here but overlooked it, thinking an escape might do it. That’s a very handy page.
