parameterize(string, separator: "-", preserve_case: false) public

Replaces special characters in a string so that it may be used as part of a ‘pretty’ URL.

parameterize("Donald E. Knuth") # => "donald-e-knuth"
parameterize("^trés|Jolie-- ")  # => "tres-jolie"

To use a custom separator, override the `separator` argument.

parameterize("Donald E. Knuth", separator: '_') # => "donald_e_knuth"
parameterize("^trés|Jolie-- ", separator: '_')  # => "tres_jolie"

To preserve the case of the characters in a string, use the `preserve_case` argument.

parameterize("Donald E. Knuth", preserve_case: true) # => "Donald-E-Knuth"
parameterize("^trés|Jolie-- ", preserve_case: true) # => "tres-Jolie"
