Introduced in v5.1.23 The transformation applied by the slugify operator follows these steps:

• If there is a tiddler with the same title that has a slug field, then return that field instead of running the following steps
• Replace uppercase letters with lowercase equivalents
• Transliterate diacritics to their basic lowercase ASCII equivalents (for example, "Æ" is transliterated to "AE")
• Replace spaces with dashes
• Remove all non-word characters except dashes and periods
• Replace multiple sequential dashes with a single dash
• Trim dashes from start and end
• If the result is the empty string then character codes are used instead (eg. "&£@" transforms to "38-163-64")

Note that it is possible for more than one title to slugify to the same string. The duplicateslugs can be used to alert authors to any clashes.
