Use colon ":" in title OR use dashes "-" in Signature notes #459

Closed x61 closed 1 month ago

x61 commented 1 month ago

Hello All:

I would like to know if it is possible to use the ":" in title name. I am looking for something like this:

Topic Name: this is one topic

Looking through the doc, signature note might work, but I would like to use a dash "-" as a replacement for spaces between topic names. That is, I am ok if the output shows: ==topic-name__this-is-one-topic instead of ==topic=name__this-is-one-topic.

The way file name components appear in the file name can be customized using denote-file-name-slug-functions. You can choose to have spaces replaced with hyphens if you want. Check the manual for "sluggification". There are examples that you can adapt.

@x61 Did you have the chance to try what @jeanphilippegg suggested? This is indeed the way to go for all such specific customisations.

I think we can safely close the issue now. Let me know if there is something I missed.
