Hi Tones, I'm not trying to solve any problems, it was just a matter of curiosity. I used to use TitlesLikeThis a lot because they were used in some examples in the Tiddlywiki documentation; however, WikiWords have some limitations (WikiWords means your titles can't have spaces and can't be single words) so I don't really do that anymore. I just use regular titles and [[Double Brackets]]. From what I've seen, that's pretty normal -- I don't see many WikiWords in other people's tiddlywikis.
And it would be kind of weird looking at (e.g.) a table of contents, and seeing a bunch of WikiWords rather than regular text. And tagging, it would look a little weird if instead of tagging something "Bookmarks" you had to tag it "BookMarks". So when I look at one of my first wikis and I see pages like JohnSmith instead of [[John Smith]] I think "huh, that's right, I used to use WIkiWords a lot and stopped. I wonder if there are any people who really dig WikiWords and still use them? If so I wonder what their reason for doing so is?" Maybe there aren't any, maybe everybody ends up moving to non-wiki-words titles like I did! But I thought I'd ask.
