I have started to use muse-wiki, mostly for its interwiki facility. I don't really like the way that any ``bare'' project name is rendered as a link. This is fine if the project has an infrequently used word as a name, or if it has an unusual orthography such as camel case. If, on the other hand, a project has for a name a common word such as `notes', it might be better not to highlight each occurence of the word on a page.
Since I, and perhaps others therefore, would prefer to be able to give projects such simple names, I suggest that there should be an option to ignore these when they have no page specifier. Thus `notes' would not be turned into a link, but `notes::index' would. I have implemented this in the patch below. By default the behaviour is turned off; setting the new variable muse-wiki-ignore-bare-project-names to something non-nil turns it on. I can't see any obvious undesirable side effects, but I am not that familiar with the muse code at the moment. Location: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/jeho/archives/2005 Archive name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Branch: muse--jeho--1.0 Patch: 8 For special cases where one might want to have a bare project name that links to a project's default page, I also have some code for defining aliases, using muse-wiki-interwiki-alist: (defun jeho-make-resolver (project) "Return a resolver for finding either a page in PROJECT or its default page." `(lambda (tag) (muse-wiki-resolve-project-page ,project tag))) (defun jeho-add-project-alias (alias project) "Add ALIAS for PROJECT. A link that is exactly ALIAS will link to the default page, a link with a tag to will resolve to the page named by tag in the aliased project." (unless (muse-project project) (error "No project %s defined" project)) (setq muse-wiki-interwiki-alist (cons (cons alias (jeho-make-resolver project)) (delete (assoc alias muse-wiki-interwiki-alist) muse-wiki-interwiki-alist))) (muse-wiki-update-interwiki-regexp muse-wiki-interwiki-alist) muse-wiki-interwiki-alist) So one could have, say, (jeho-add-project-alias "NotesWiki" "notes"), or even (jeho-add-project-alias "notes" "notes"). But I am not sure whether this should be added to muse-wiki.el, since it might add some confusion over the purpose of muse-wiki-interwiki-alist. -- Jim Ottaway _______________________________________________ emacs-wiki-discuss mailing list emacs-wiki-discuss@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-wiki-discuss
