hugo/content/en/functions/urls/_common/anchorize-vs-urlize.md

The anchorize and urlize functions are similar:

• Use the anchorize function to generate an HTML id attribute value
• Use the urlize function to sanitize a string for usage in a URL

For example:

{{ $s := "A B C" }}
{{ $s | anchorize }} → a-b-c
{{ $s | urlize }} → a-b-c

{{ $s := "a b   c" }}
{{ $s | anchorize }} → a-b---c
{{ $s | urlize }} → a-b-c

{{ $s := "< a, b, & c >" }}
{{ $s | anchorize }} → -a-b--c-
{{ $s | urlize }} → a-b-c

{{ $s := "main.go" }}
{{ $s | anchorize }} → maingo
{{ $s | urlize }} → main.go

{{ $s := "Hugö" }}
{{ $s | anchorize }} → hugö
{{ $s | urlize }} → hug%C3%B6
