Temporarily getting rid of camel case

[Werner]

Camel case is sort of an annoyance for me. I don't want to switch it off completely, but sometimes I don't want it while transcluding. Here's an example: I run a company database, and companies sometimes have camel case names.

I dynamically create reports for companies which I have stored in a JSON tiddler. The currently active company is kept in a tiddler named activeDossier, its text field looks like {{companyRegister##0/name}}. I can transclude it into my dynamically created report, but when the company name is in camel case it gets auto-converted to a link. How do I get rid of this (without the global switch)? 

Apart from that, an additional parameter for the <$transclude> widget eliminating camel case would be great.

Thanks

Add this "pragma" to the top of a tiddler:

\rules except wikilink

This will disable automatic CamelCase links only for content in that tiddler.

Notes:

* There is also a "\rules only ..." pragma

* To see the full list of rules that can be referenced, enter this in the $:/AdvancedSearch, filter input:

[[wikiparserrules[]]

enjoy,

Eric, you’re awesome. Thanks so much

In some cases using the text widget will help produce a result which is not evaluated as camelCase. The simple version of the link widget does this to. So if a multiword title where one word is camel case that will not become a link.

Hi Tones,

thanks. The text widget is usually the first thing I resort to. In this case, I was not able getting transclusion to work, though.

Best, Werner

Eric, your solution only seems to work with static text, like

\rules except wikilink

CamelCaseText

and not in a situation when the camel case text is generated programatically like transclusion.

as I wrote to TW Tones, normally I would resort to the text widget, but, so far, I haven't managed to properly assign the text parameter based on my dynamic content.

Any clue would be greatly appreciated

ok... try this instead of the \rules

\define tv-wikilinks() no

This will suppress *all* links, even from transclusions (note: except for external links, i.e., "http://...")

(see https://tiddlywiki.com/#tv-wikilinks%20Variable)

Alternatively, you can write it this way:

<$vars tv-wikilinks=no><$transclude tiddler="SomeTiddler" mode="block" /></$vars>

This will only suppress the links for that specific transclusion, but render all other links as usual

Tried the latter option. Works. Many thanks.
