Preventing a word from being treated as a WikiWord

[schrade]

I know this probably has an obvious answer, but after going through
various tutorials and experimenting I can't seem to find the answer.

While writing content I often have to use technical terms, like
JavaScript, which when spelled properly qualify as a WikiWord, and get
rendered as such (with the italics because I don't have a tiddler to
match it). I know as I am typing that it isn't a word I want it to
treat as a WikiWord. How do I prevent this?

I know if I want a non-WikiWord to render a link to surround it with [[
and ]]. I need the inverse of this I guess.

Any help? And forgive me if this falls into the 'doh' category...

Thanks

Put a ~ in front, eg

 

WikiWord <-- is a link

~WikiWord <-- not a link

In about 3 minutes you gave me the answer, when I spent a couple hours
looking. Where pray tell would I have located that piece of
information>

Oh, and mucho gracias...

Hi Dewey... welcome to the party! There's some basic starting
information on the core TiddlyWiki site. Here's a couple of links to
get you started...

That is just not fair... lol I was at the MainFeatures link, looked
in the formatting one, looked at a number of other topics, and glossed
over WikiWordEscape... which if my eyes had been seeing what my brain
wanted -- should have been enough of a clue.

Thanks for the welcome to the party... I only wish I had gotten the
invite earlier. Now having said that, I was looking at a plugin
earlier (DisableWikiLinksPlugin) that prevented the rendering engine
from actually doing the WikiWord handling, relying on the author using
the [[ ]] mechanism. Unfortunately upon load, it was squawking about
the formatting array not existing (Error in customConfig - TypeError:
config.formatters has no properties). I am using the unmodified (no
other plugins) Nathan Bowers GTD Wiki that I created within the last
week. Environment: Windows XP - SP2, using Firefox 1.0.6

Any thoughts?

config.formatters is an internal TW core variable that is part of the
"wikify" engine used to draw the TiddlyWiki contents. This variable
was added quite a while ago, but probably after whatever version
Nathan's GTD is based on.

There are several 'modern' GTD implementations currently available from
different places. I suggest visiting the GTD TiddlyWiki discussion to
learn more. The folks over there (who are also mostly the folks over
here as well) have all the latest GTD details, and are generally very
helpful:
