Hi there!

I don’t think this is a good idea: I think it’s very useful to push one slug algorithm instead. This helps everyone in the end. For example, in VS Code you can autocomplete links to headings, which will use the same algorithm that we do. And that’s great! Interop!

There are some really good other slugging algorithms, some with lots of options. I don’t think it’s a good idea to add every option someone might ever want here.

Alternatives

I think there’s a very good alternative: this plugin is tiny! 15 lines. You can choose any slugging you want by writing your own plugins!

This is not ideal.

that makes the life harder when trying to tackle the orphan word control in MDX

What weird statements. This is open sources. This is programming. It’s about trade offs. You have different ones than other people, which is fine! But I think it’s weird to insinuate that people giving away stuff for free are doing that to intentionally make other people’s lives harder
