No worries @bix, you are explaining it right.

This jerry-rigging can be done. It would take grabbing the body of a post, parsing through the body with the parameters laid out above, and then slugifying what’s left over - all of which is possible through some calls to the API.

Though you do remind me of the request for [changing slugs before you publish](https://discuss.write.as/t/change-slug-before-publish/728). That would definitely help in the future. And perhaps @matt could fill us in further on the word/character limit for slugs. Once those parameters are known, a script of sorts could be made.

Hope that all makes sense!
