Hey Tobias! LinkifyPlugin (1) enables RegExp, however, sometimes you may wish to use the regexp characters not in a regexp context. The example I had was when a tiddler alias (or source tiddler title) contained parentheses and it immediately processed the stuff between them as regexp even though they were ordinary parentheses. I had to put the entire alias between parentheses and then escape the inner parentheses. However, I'm afraid this could potentially be messy if the alias contained ^, " or * special characters in non-alias context (ie as LinkifyPlugin special characters). I did some testing and discovered that it's also problematic, when the "source" tiddler title contained an asterisk. Putting the entire source string into parentheses and escaping the asterisk didn't work. Interestingly though, if the source tiddler title contained quotation marks and the alias contained the source tiddler title with the same quotation marks, linkifying worked, even if you changed the case of the link, but if you added another pair of quotation marks, linkifying broke. There was also strange behavior with matching case in aliases (your "zoOM" example).
Example in LinkifyConfig: test "tiddler" [test]|test "tiddler" [test] test|test "tiddler" [test] "test" Example results: test "tiddler" [test] test - works test "tiddler" [test] "test" - doesn't work test "Tiddler" [test] test - works test "tiddler" [test] Test - works Examples in LinkifyConfig: (test "tiddler\*" [test]1)|test "tiddler" [test] test1 test "tiddler*" [test]2|test "tiddler" [test] test2 Example results: test "tiddler*" [test] test1 - doesn't work test "tiddler*" [test] test2 - doesn't work Example in LinkifyConfig: test "tiddler" [test] (test)|test "tiddler" [test] (test) test Example results: test "tiddler" [test] (test) test - points to a non-existing tiddler Example in LinkifyConfig: testily|"TEsty"|"TEsTY"|"tesTY" Example results: TEsty - points to a non-existing tiddler TEsTY - points to a non-existing tiddler tesTY - works Hope that helps with troubleshooting. I have a suggestion for announcing a regexp string: instead of just (...), maybe use ((...)) or something similar. That way, whatever is inside the regexp markers won't interfere with LinkifyPlugin special characters. This, of course, still leaves the issue of asterisk in the tiddler title.
