This cThis topic describes how HTML titles are formulated and how to maintain friendly URLs.

...

In XperienCentral, a limited set of characters is allowed in a URL. When you create a new item, its friendly URL title is standardized, meaning that the text entered for the title is simplified if it contains illegal special characters in order to ensure that the URL is valid. When standardizing a URL, XperienCentral applies the following rules:

  • Converts all special characters containing diacriticals marks (for example, é and ë) to the lowercase version of the letter without diacritical marks.
  • Converts all normal uppercase letters to lowercase.
  • Deletes all other extended characters other than uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and periods.

...

The following are examples of friendly URL conflicts as a result of URL standardizing.
