What is kebab-case?

kebab-case (also known as dash-case or hyphen-case) is a naming convention where words are separated by hyphens and all letters are lowercase. It's called "kebab case" because the hyphens resemble skewers holding pieces of food together, like a kebab.

• HTML element IDs (#my-element-id)
