A WikiWord is two or more capitalized words smashed together. There is a sort of special syntax involved, though, so I think some examples are in order. These are all WikiWords: *WikiWord *HomestarRunner *StrongBadEmail And these aren't: *WikiWord (Use "!" to cancel out WikiWords (ex: If I didn't want PomPom to be a link, then I would put an "!" to make it a...not link.). *Bubs *Marshie *HRWiki Also note that AColdOne is a WikiWord, but AOne is not. If anyone can explain what the reasoning is behind this rule, be my guest. ---- I suppose I should have read this page first... Doh! I would guess that AColdOne is because you have "Cold" and "One" capitalized. Having two letters in a row doesn't seem to trigger it though... (as "AOne" isn't a link). ****1) i am confused as to why "!" cancels out "WikiWord"...or is that just some other rule ****2) correct; AOne could be interpreted as one word with two letters capitalized by accident, while AColdOne has to be considered not just two words, but three! ****3) if you really need to make AOne a link just put (( and )) around it, like this ((AOne)) ****?) then why didn't that work? ****Ans) He used `x3 around the (( and )). ` = Tilde *Hey Hobo, isn't "~" a tilde? -- Tom **Hmmm... There's a pretty good chance your right. What's "`" called then? --Hobophobic **A "backtick"? -- Tom |
