Peter, Your are getting involved in TiddlyWiki. Do keep asking questions, but do also spend some time on tiddlywiki.com and in your own wikis.
Search for tv-wikilinks and click the advanced search button. Look at each tab; You will most likely find your answer. The shadows tabs will show where this variable may be defined or in use apart from any documentation. You may discover most of tiddlywiki is readable and you can learn a lot from how it does what it does. If you found yourself on a desert island with only empty.html (and a solar energy source) you could continue to lear a hell of a lot. As they say - Teach a man to fish I think tv- is for tiddlywiki variables You can test the results yourself, one is rule out, the other rule in tv-wikilinks is about standard links like camle case and [[a link]] *Is there a way to make them NOT case sensitive? *good idea for an option Keep in mind if tiddlers are lower case you can display them with caps, title and sentence case if you want. Especially if you want it to be more generic consider tiddlers that define a fragment or phrase use lower case. If something is clearly a title use the correct case eg Microsoft not microsoft. English is your friend.
