title: Convert slug variable to title text with javascript
body: <p>I'm trying to do something that would be similar to turning a url slug-like variable into text that could be used for a title.</p>
  
  <p>So, I have a variable for example that is like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var thisID = 'athlete-profile';
  
  function myFunc(thisID) {
      // i need to use thisID as the id and href in a loop that generates a string of &lt;li&gt;&lt;a&gt;'s\
  
      function makeTitle(thisID) {
          // convert thisID to text so for this example it would return 'Athlete Profile'
          return 'Athlete Profile';
      }
  
      for () {
          var str = '&lt;li id="'+thisID+'"&gt;&lt;a href="#'+thisId+'"&gt;'+makeTitle(thisID)+'&lt;/a&gt;';
      }
      // make sense?
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to not use a regex to do this if possible somehow, but I don't think there's a way to do it without one. So any one who knows how to do this type of thing let me know, it would be a great help.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
