interesting "bug" Camlcase in Tiddler caption fields

[barro...@gmail.com]

Not so much a bug but an effect...

Probably not an issue, probably already known, and isn't a problem IMO.  It is a case of me not seeing the Camelcase missing tiddler italics till after the fact and easily corrected by adding the "~".  The wiki provides warning of the situation, but it produced interesting result that would leave the unsuspecting scratching their heads.

When Camelcase gets automatically invoked by words containing 2 uppercase letters, ie: "FactBook".

A tiddler caption (used to replace the Tiddler title in a ToC) containing such a unintentional Camlecase link like, "World FactBook", when indexed by list-links-draggable  or lists, produces a link that looks singular but is composed of a link to the actual tiddler and the Camelcase link.  IE, World FactBook (as a caption) became a a link to the ToC tiddler World Factbook (clicking on World) and a link to the missing tiddler FactBook (clicking on FactBook).   The wiki provides a warning when its displayed World Factbook, but it didn't register in my mind and I was wondering why a link to a working ToC tiddler was taking me me to a missing tiddler that had only half the name.

The italics the wiki was providing is what clued me in on what I had done.

I was getting the same effect with some other ToC tiddlers, like using caption "OpPlan" (for tiddler titled Operation Plans) and the Camelcase link replaced the link to the actual tiddler.

The fact tgat the caption is wikified means you can even transclude an icon in the caption field but it also translates camel case.

In my own lists that use caption I use the viewwidget format text to stop this happening.

I shall try to remember that about the view widget, but then I now have it here on the board, one of my main references for TW knowledge.  Been perhaps abusing icon transculsion, TW markup and and extended Unicode characters in caption fields to visually mark/code ToC tabs and entries as well decoration >< (see attached screenshot)

Looks interesting !

Thank you, but you'll noticed a color mismatch, white on black background on top with the wiki title and left side and green on black on the sidebar (the green on black was what I was striving for but my system theme is interfering)-- you were collecting palettes iirc.  Have you encounter any greens on black themed palettes (simulating the old green monochrome CRT's)?
