Disabling strike-through

[Morris Gray]

I am putting some vintage (18th century) writings into TiddlyWiki and
they make extensive use of the double-hyphen in the text. How can I
disable the strike-thru facility so their double-hyphens aren't seen
as code?

Good question Morris,

Maybe enclosing such text within <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags, would be a
solution?

Regards,

W.

It should be reasonably easy to remove that wikifier.

This is untested but...

config.formatters.findByField('name','strikeByChar').match = 'NothingShouldMatchThisISayMwhuhuhahaaaa38383289293522352';

or maybe this:

config.formatters.remove(config.formatters.findByField('name','strikeByChar'));

I found this bit of code which seems to convert the double-hyphen into
an &mdash; which is what the original author intended.

(function() {
for (var i = 0; i < config.formatters.length; i++)
if (config.formatters[i].name == "strikeByChar")
break;
if (i < config.formatters.length)
config.formatters.splice(i,1);
})();

Hi Morris,

this works nicely if the double-hypen is surrounded by empty spaces.
Is it possible to make this piece of code also work if the double-
hypen is found in the middle of some text, as I just encountered and
struggle with in an old dictionary?

thanks in advance,

W.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.
The code Simon and Morris posted disables the "strikeByChar" formatter.
Can you show me an example where that doesn't work for you?

Thanks for the fast reply, for example such dictionary text:

A--3 [Vedic a--; Idg. *e (loc. of pron. stem, cp. ayaŋ; orig. a
deictic adv. with specific reference to the past, cp. Sk sma);

- if I place a space before and after the double-hypens it does
disable the strikeByChars. But not as it is direct next to other
letters.

Actually, the strikeByChar formatter doesn't exist in recent TiddlyWiki
versions anymore. I believe it has been replaced by the characterFormat
formatter - changing that is more complicated though, as it would
require overriding the entire handler function.
I can't think of a good solution right now...

Thanks for letting me know. Will have to search/replace in this case.

I've created a basic plugin to disable strikethrough for old and new
versions of tiddlywikis. It's at:

http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/MartinBudden/plugins/DisableStrikeThroughPlugin.js

Thanks for this plugin, Martin!

It works in my case - wasn't expecting such a fast solution :-)
