I have some form on the website where users can add new pages. I must generate SEO friendly URLs and make this urls unique. What characters can I display in url, I know that spaces I should convert to undescore:
" "->"_" and before it - underscores to something else, for example:
""->"()"
It is easy make title from url back. But what in my specific title can be all characters from keyboard, even : @#%:"{/\';.>
Are some contraindications to don't use this characters in URL? Important for me is:
-easy generate url and title from url back (without queries to database)
-each title are unique, so url must be too
-SEO friendly URLs
