Problem/Motivation

Currently normalizeText replaces dashes ("-") in titles with spaces, which can be undesirable if the title requires a dash character.

Steps to reproduce

Create a page with a dash in the title, being sure to check "Provide a menu link". In the displayed breadcrumb, the dash will be replaced by a space.

Proposed resolution

Either:

  1. Make the replacement of dashes with spaces in normalizeText optional via a configuration parameter
  2. Make the replacements in normalizeText (currently "_" or "-" to " ") configurable, or
  3. Stop replacing dashes with spaces in normalizeText

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

I'd say we should stop replacing -... What do you think?

I'm with Greg on this... my vote is to stop replacing '-'.

This one is going to require more work. When I just remove - from the normalize, breadcrumb titles look like this:

Home > Hip-hop-wellness

So the solution will need to be smarter because we can't just remove - from normalize.
