Clash between my font and my tiddlywiki

[Florian Cauvin]

I want to write in sitelen pona (hieroglyph system for the Toki Pona language) in my TiddlyWiki but the font that is needed for that uses __ in ligatures to produce some hieroglyph compositions. And of course when I write a __ then TiddlyWiki switches to underscore mode and that messes up everything. How could I possibly avoid this clash ?

Add this to the start of each tiddler in which you want to use the "__" syntax:

\rules except underscore

Alternatively, to prevent the parsing of "__" syntax throughout the document,  you can go to the $:/ControlPanel, Advanced, Parsing tab and clear the checkbox next to "underscore".  Save-and-reload for the setting to take effect.

Depending on your exact use, you can use some laternative UTF-8 symbol like

__YODDLEDIHOO__

BTW you may be interested in a Morse alphabet thingy I made: http://morse.tiddlyspot.com/

@Erich Schulman, perfect, thank you so much! 

Using your instructions, I prevent the __ parsing in individual tiddlers where I use this font, this workaround works well for me!

You saved my day !!!

@Mat: hi, thanks for showing yours morse thingy!

Perfect solution, Eric Schulman, you saved my day!
