slugify-noevals

Converts an input string into a clean, URL-safe slug.

Steps

1. Accept the input string.
2. Lowercase the entire string.
3. Replace whitespace with hyphens.
4. Strip any character that isn't a lowercase letter, digit, hyphen, or apostrophe.
5. Collapse multiple consecutive hyphens into a single hyphen.
6. Trim any leading or trailing hyphens.
7. Return the resulting slug.

Gotchas

• Numbers are kept as-is (e.g. "Top 10 Tips" → "top-10-tips").
• Punctuation like colons, commas, and question marks is simply dropped, not replaced with a hyphen.
