Prepare Content: Convert Case → Encode HTML → Encode URL

Normalize content for web publishing: convert text case for headings and slugs, escape HTML entities for safe rendering, and URL-encode strings for links and APIs.

The Problem

You're preparing content for a CMS or website: article titles need Title Case, code identifiers need snake_case, HTML content with user text needs entity encoding, and link slugs need URL encoding. Four separate normalization tasks before any content is web-ready.

Why This Matters

Content normalization mistakes create subtle bugs: inconsistent heading casing breaks design systems, unescaped HTML in user content enables XSS attacks, and improperly encoded URLs cause broken links. A three-step workflow catches all three before publication.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Normalize text casing

Paste headings, titles, or identifiers into the Text Case Converter. Convert article titles to Title Case, database field names to snake_case, JavaScript variables to camelCase, and CSS class names to kebab-case. Consistent casing prevents typo-induced bugs.

2

Escape HTML in user-generated content

Any user-provided text that will be rendered in HTML must pass through the HTML Entity Encoder. This converts <, >, &, and quotes to safe entities — preventing XSS injection and broken layout when names contain special characters.

3

URL-encode slugs and link parameters

Slugs, search queries, and link parameters with spaces or special characters need URL encoding. Paste into the URL Encoder to convert spaces to %20 and safe characters are preserved. This creates shareable, bookmarkable URLs.

Before & After Example

Raw content (unsafe for web)
Title: my blog post about c++ & rust
Slug: my blog post about c++ & rust
User comment: <script>alert('xss')</script>

# Problems:
# - Title inconsistent casing
# - Slug has spaces and special chars
# - Comment will execute as HTML
Web-ready content
Title: My Blog Post About C++ & Rust
Slug: my-blog-post-about-c%2B%2B-%26-rust
User comment: &lt;script&gt;alert(&#x27;xss&#x27;)&lt;/script&gt;

# Safe for:
# - CMS display
# - URL routing
# - HTML rendering

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a slug and a URL-encoded string?

A slug replaces spaces with hyphens and removes special characters: 'My Post Title' → 'my-post-title'. URL encoding preserves the original value but escapes unsafe chars: 'My Post Title' → 'My%20Post%20Title'. Use slugs for permanent URLs, URL encoding for search parameters.

Do I need to HTML-escape content in React or Vue?

Yes and no. React and Vue automatically escape content rendered in JSX/templates with curly braces. But if you use dangerouslySetInnerHTML (React) or v-html (Vue), you must escape it yourself first.

Which case format should I use for different contexts?

snake_case: Python variables, database columns. camelCase: JavaScript variables, JSON keys. PascalCase: React components, class names. kebab-case: CSS classes, HTML attributes, URL slugs. SCREAMING_SNAKE: constants.
