By default, multiple word tags look like this /tag/new%20car%20videos/

The url would look better using hyphens /tag/new-car-videos/

Is using mod_rewrite/RewriteRule the only way to accomplish this or is there another option?

You can replace spaces with dashes in templates
Script will recognize it anyway

How would this be done in templates?

You can use str_replace() php function
Also don't forget about tag_prefixes

What tag_prefixes should be used?

Also, can you show an example here, the space(%20) in tags doesn't exist until the <!--TAG1--> is already processed by the server. So how would we use str_replace() to make this work?

I mean you can use it right in templates

Can you please show me an example of how this would work using str_replace() php function and tag prefixes? I don't see how this could work as the <!--TAG1--> variable hasn't been processed yet by the server to show the actual tag, again the url example I'm using is domain.com/tag/new%20car%videos/

<!--TAG1--> becomes <? echo str_replace(' ', '-', '<!--ESCAPED_TAG1-->') ?>

Thank you.

I had tried using that code with '%20' in the single quotes, didn't think to try the ' ' blank space...
