Hi Mario, I totally agree with you: handle only CamelCase words like a) as a WikiLink.
N.B. Although Jeremy stated CamelCase/WikiLink is at the moment the same in TW5 and TWclassic, imo it is not true: * TWclassic: "PMario" creates a WikiLink * TW5: "PMario" does *not* create a WikiLink Cheers, Ton On Friday, May 16, 2014 5:18:19 PM UTC+2, PMario wrote: > > On Friday, May 16, 2014 1:16:25 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: >> >> https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/337 >> >> uups, I did forget about this one :) > > I did some experiments and had a look at the CamelCase definition > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase, wich at the end may be *different > to the WikiLink* definition. > > CamelCase basically says: > > - If you combine 2 or more words and start every word with an upercase > letter you get a CamelCase word. > - There is no other rule > > > So at the moment: > a) TiddlyWiki is a CamelCase word and a WikiLink > > b) TIDdlyWiki is _no_ CamelCase word but it is a WikiLink. > > c) Because minus "-", underline "_" and numbers "0-9" are treated as > lowercase letters all of the following combinations produce WikiLinks.
