If you have a lot of such terms, you can save on confusion and dboule writing by creating a second tiddler, which simply displays the content of the first tiddler. For example: You have terms "Michael Jackson" and "Jacko" and they both mean the same thing. You can create a tiddler named "Michael Jackson" and write in it whatever you need to. Then you create a second tiddler named "Jacko" and in it you put this: <<tiddler "Michael Jackson"##"Michael Jackson">> So when you go to the "Jacko" tiddler, you actually see the contents of the "Michael Jackson" tiddler. Why is that a good thing? If you use just PrettyLinks, you would create a tiddler "Michael Jackson". A PrettyLink for that would be [[Michael Jackson]]. But every time you would want to write Jacko in the text, you would need to write [[Jacko|Michael Jackson]]. In my example, you would simply write Jacko or [[Jacko]] and you would always see the contents of the "Michael Jackson" tiddler.
Further more, this method is useful in cases when you're making lists of tiddlers, you just use different tags. For example: person: Anakin Skywalker; tags: Jedi; content: the life and times of Anakin Skywalker person: Darh Vader; tags: Sith; content: <<tiddler "Anakin Skywalker"##"Anakin Skywalker">> So when you make a list of the Jedi, you see Anakin listed as "Anakin Skywalker" and when you're making a list of the Sith, you see Anakin listed as "Darth Vader". In both cases, however, you get the contents of the "Anakin Skywalker" tiddler when you click on the link.
