It would be good to handle this somehow. We don't want to
encourage people to create a new Wiki page, just because
a text term uses CamelCase.
This is a big problem with describing our Cocoon bits and
pieces, e.g. DirectoryGenerator. The CamelCase gets used
so often in our descriptions.
We would rather that links were deliberately made to the
relevant cocoon.apache.org main documentation, wouldn't we?
Also if it makes links out of everything it sees, then we
will end up with link disease, where a term that is used
multiple times in a sentence has many repetitive links.
This is a feature of Moin that is configurable - does CamelCase get
interpreted as a link? The rest of Apache has it switched on.
Well, all Apache projects are different. I would like it switched
off if it causes such damage. What do others think.
But it is odd how it works. JXTemplateGenerator will only see
TemplateGenerator as the link without the JX. It is going to be tough
just using this, as even when we've done the conversion people are going
to be inadvertently adding CamelCase to their new Wiki pages.
I guess I can give my regexp skills another test to see if I can come up
with a CamelCase detector, but I'm a little reluctant. Is it really
important?
Yes, i think so, for the reasons described above.
Okay, I'll have a go. But I make no guarantees. We'll see how I get on.
It is quite a complex problem - to precede all occurances of CamelCase,
that isn't in a link, with an exclamation mark.
Upayavira, who's trying to avoid a bit more work!
Thanks, and we do not want to hold you up in any way.
Thanks. I'll try not to get held up like I did last time (was it two
months long?) ;-)
Is this something that can be switched off by default
and we switch it on if we decide that we want it?
I think it can be switched on on a per wiki basis, but the issue is
whether we want to do something different from the rest of Apache.
