Converts arbitrary text into a clean, machine-readable URL slug. The tool strips out special characters, punctuation, and excessive whitespace, replacing them with hyphens or underscores to create a string suitable for web addresses. It also standardizes non-ASCII characters like accents or international letters into their Latin equivalents, ensuring the output works across different platforms and search engines.
