"How-to" or "how to" in reference to tutorial [closed]

Solution 1:

How-to

That is how it is to be written, as you mean a certain thing (the way) defined by the phrase. Without a hyphen it would not refer to the specific thing but just be a phrase.

Between

"The how-to of it all is explained in this tutorial."

and

"This tutorial shows how to do it all."

There is a distinct difference.
