When I type this name in a tiddler's text box is converted to a link, but when I type Mcleod, i.e. with a lower case letter L, it is not. I don't have McLeod in any tiddlers right now.

Any idea why this would be?

This is called camel case linking. It can be turned off in the control panel under "settings".

Peter,

I would just add to Marks comment you can proceed a camel case word with Tilde to Stop it being turned into a link ~McLeod ~TiddlyWiki and the end result can be altered such as if you had a surname field containing McLeod you could do this;
 <$text text={{!!surname}} />

To return the contents of the surname field as plain text.

Regards
Tony

Tony, thanks for the tip. That way I don't have to turn off CamelCase.

I tried to use the syntax <$text text={{!!surname}} /> in a text box, replacing "surname" with McLeod, but in the Read mode nothing is rendered.

Obviously I did not use the syntax in the right place, so please correct me.
My apologies for asking such a basic question.

The {{!!...}} syntax is for using the value of a field from the current tiddler.

For literal text, use double-quotes, like this:
<$text text="McLeod" />

Note that for this specific case, it is much simpler to use a leading ~ (tilde), like this:
~McLeod

enjoy,
