hi group fellow,
could you please let me know the logic behind the Camel Case Notation,
for example
when we write Camel notation like "MyName". it is automatically
converted to link and added to the right notation tree. Please help me
to understand this logic from development point of view
thanks

It makes it a logical way to save the individual files in a standard
way. In old DOS you couldn't have breaks in the name, same goes for
internet sites you can't have
My Name.blah, though you can have MyName.blah. Another reason would be
to allow one to make the pages faster [[MyName]] is 4 characters longer
than MyName.

(I guess...)

This is a convention that dates from the original Wiki concept, which
wanted to make it really easy for non-technical people to create a link
