(Greek) Slug Generator
GreekSlugGenerator is a slug (pretty URL) generator, which supports Greek UTF-8 encoded characters, and generates a slug based on strings which are typically titles of pages or articles., (*1)
The class can be used for English-only titles as well., (*2)
If a Greek character is found, it is converted to its English equivalent., (*3)
Spaces as well as some punctuation marks are converted to dashes, but if at any point multiple sequential dashes are produced, only one appears in the final slug., (*4)
Installation
It can be installed either by requiring the GreekSlugGenerator.php file under src, or via Composer by using the [Packagist archive][2]., (*5)
