Mixed-case words "demanding" an article

posts: 3

I've noticed that TikiWiki assumes that any word with a capital letter in the middle of it — even a last name such as McAllister — needs to have an article attached to it. You end up with a lot of distracting red question marks in the middle of your text.

More annoying is something that just happened to me when I made a link to a new page. The page is called "Accessing the HealthShare Viewer" so I made a link to it on another page using this syntax:
Accessing the HealthShare Viewer

The problem is, there is already an article for HealthShare itself. Which means that on my page, I get this:
Accessing the (link that goes to "Accessing the HealthShare Viewer")
HealthShare (link that goes to "HealthShare")
Viewer (no link)

Is there any way to work around this problem? Do I need to turn off the mixed-case feature entirely, and *can* I?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Argh!!! I had no idea that this forum uses TikiWiki syntax too! So, you can all see the problem right there in my post above: the ? appearing after every instance of HealthShare, and the double ? in a phrase like "Accessing the HS Viewer".

I hope this is clear and that somebody has an easy fix for me.

Thanks again ...

I would say either use the syntax

Copy to clipboard
))HealthShare((


or try disabling WikiWords in your Tiki install..
