Definition and use as Page Titles
A
WikiWord is a set of two or more words run together, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. This syntax is also sometimes referred to as "mixed case" or "camel case".
WikiWords are used as
page titles in a
WikiWikiWeb.
Use as links
In some wikis, you can string any sequence of words together, capitalizing the first letter of each word, to make a valid
WikiWord link. In such
PmWiki installations,
WikiWords surrounded by [=...=] or preceded by a backquote (`) are not turned into links:
LikeThis compared to `LikeThis or even [=LikeThis=] |
| LikeThis compared to LikeThis or even LikeThis
|
See
Links for information about PmWiki's rules for forming links and forming page titles.
Enabling WikiWord links
WikiWord links are disabled by default since Pmwiki version 2.1 beta2. To enable
WikiWord links you need to set in
config.php
$LinkWikiWords = 1;
If you want to display links to non-existent pages without decoration, place the following lines in
pub/css/local.css:
span.wikiword a.createlink { display:none; }
span.wikiword a.createlinktext
{ border-bottom:none; text-decoration:none; color:inherit; }
Finding WikiWord links
If you upgraded from an earlier version and want to convert
WikiWord links to standard
links, the following will help to find those
WikiWord links easier by highlighting them. Set in
config.php:
$HTMLStylesFmt['wikiword'] = "
span.wikiword { background:yellow; }
";

WikiWords are available from
Wiki:WikiWord and
