NoWikiWords

Goal

Simplify the maintenance of words that should not be taken as Wiki words although they look like such (i.e. camel case).

There is quite a number of words in mixed case that appear repeatedly in documentation and similiar text, and I found it annoying the be forced to either quote the words (with [=) or edit the local/config.php continuously. So I needed an method for easier online maintenance.

Solution

This extension allows to create a Wiki page where you maintain words that should not be interpreted as Wiki words (i.e. should not create a link).

In the page, simply enter the words you want to block, line by line. Empty lines are ignored. Example:

The page is read by the extension and converted to the appropriate PmWiki orders.

Installation

Download the file Attach:nowikiwords.php and install it into your local/ directory. Include the script from local/config.php.

The Wiki Page containing camel case words that should not be taken as Wiki words defaults to $DefaultGroup.NoWikiWords. You may configure this by setting $NoWikiWordsPagename either before the include or in the script itself. Add a link to the page whereever you like. Set an edit permission if you like.

You still may define more words in the conventional way.

• Cookbook.DisableWikiWords, Cookbook.LimitWikiWords
• In many cases, a sufficient alternative may be to change the $WikiWordPattern to a more complex expression. See mailing list for examples.

History

First version 2004-10-10. Tested with pmwiki-1.0.11

Comments & Bugs

One may want to give priority to declarations in the script over those in the Wiki page. Would need to check if the word is already set.
