Annoying WikiWords

[Andre]

Hi there...

I really like TW a lot. But what I hate about is are the full
automatic WikiWords. Since I work as a programmer nearly every class,
method and var -name is a wiki word. So I use these words in my notes
regularely and therefore have to mess around with """ a lot.

The text looks really ugly while editing and is very confusing. Also
it takes a lot of time to mark all these words as non WikiWord.

In other wikis they use another approach. They mark the words which
should be wiki words with [[WikiWord]]. I would prefer this method
over the current one.

Is there any chance of making this a new feature of TiddlyWiki in the
future or does anyone know a workaround?

TW also uses [[...]] to create explicit links, even for tiddler titles
that are *not* WikiWords.

To prevent an unbracketed WikiWord from being automatically linked,
you can precede it by a tilde, i.e., ~WikiWord.

You can, as you've noted, also use the triple-quotes "nowiki" syntax
to prevent automatic linking of a single word. However, this syntax
is really meant to be used with extended blocks of content to bypass
*all* wiki formatting within that content.

This plugin will give you more control over automatic linking:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#DisableWikiLinksPlugin

You can use it to block *all* automatic linking, and/or tag as tiddler
with 'excludeWikiWords' to block auto-linking in that specific
tiddler, and/or create a white-space separated 'glossary' of excluded
words in DisableWikiLinksList.

Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I was looking for...

Just a suggestion perhaps to combine with Erics Suggestion;

You may see this in your viewTemplate.

<div macro="hideWhen tiddler.tags.containsAny(['css','html','pre','systemConfig']) && !tiddler.text.match(''+'{')">
<div class='viewer' macro='view text wikified'></div>

This means that tiddlers tagged css','html','pre','systemConfig are not wikified. What about using http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TaggedTemplateTweak to allow selective wikify and no wikify. You could also modify the customised view template to present code in a particular colour or other code related information such as drop downs to specify the object etc...

The reason I suggest this is that despite the hassles wiki links can also be a great way to document and references (that identify everywhere a wiki word is used) will allow you to update all code that used that function etc... when you come up with a better way.

If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something.
