possible. There are however various cases in which this behavior can be

changed.

## A URL Made of Slugs
|
||||
## A URL Is Composed of Slugs
|
||||
|
||||
A URL in Lektor is built of slugs. What are slugs? Slugs are parts of the
|
||||
URL which can be customized. They are roughly speaking something like a
|
||||
file name. For instance `foo-bar` can be a slug in `/foo-bar/`. The default
|
||||
slug of a page is the ID of the page. So if you have a page called
|
||||
`/foo/bar/contents.lr` then the default slug is `bar`. As you can see the
|
||||
full URL is comprised of its own slug concatenated with all the slugs of
|
||||
all parents.
|
||||
Each page in Lektor is associated with a string called a *slug*. The full
|
||||
URL of a page is its own slug concatenated with the slug of each its parents.
|
||||
|
||||
Can a slug contain slashes? Yes indeed it can. A slug is free to contain
|
||||
any slashes if it wants and they will be handled just as you expect. So it's
|
||||
perfectly valid for a page to have `2015/5/demo` as slug. What's not possible
|
||||
is for a page to pretend that it belongs to a different parent. The parent
|
||||
paths are always added to it. So once a page has a parent page `/foo`
|
||||
its URL path will always begin with the URL path of the page `foo`.
|
||||
The default slug is the ID of the page. So the page
|
||||
`content/foo/bar/contents.lr` has the default slug `bar`, its parent has the
|
||||
default slug `foo`, and its default URL would be `/foo/bar/'.
|
||||

||||
## Slug Customization

As mentioned slugs can be customized. There are three systems that control

what the slug looks like:

## Slugs Containing Slashes
|
||||
|
||||
Slugs can indeed contain slashes. It's perfectly valid for a page to have
|
||||
`2015/5/demo` as slug, and it will still be incorporated into URLs as described
|
||||
above. What's not possible is for a page to pretend that it belongs to a

different parent. The parent paths are always added to it. So once a page
|
||||
has a parent page `/foo` its URL path will always begin with the URL path of
|
||||
the page `foo`.

## Extensions and File Types
|

|

The default behavior for a page is to build into a hidden `index.html` file.
