| dsmythies | wiki.ubuntu.com pages will sometimes automatically make a word into a link. There is a way to force it not to, but I can not recall how. Anybody know? | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| belkinsa | Use !? | 01:08 |
| belkinsa | ! | 01:08 |
| belkinsa | Er, ! in front of the word. | 01:08 |
| dsmythies | belkinsa: Thanks very much. | 02:57 |
| belkinsa | Not a problem. | 02:57 |
| pleia2 | or backticks, like Blah``Foo | 02:58 |
| belkinsa | I think the backticks works better | 02:58 |
| pleia2 | generally does for me | 02:58 |
| belkinsa | !LoCo didn't work for me on my wiki page | 02:58 |
| ubot2 | belkinsa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:58 |
| belkinsa | Ignore the bot's reply | 02:58 |
| dsmythies | pleia2: Thanks for the alternate suggestion. | 03:10 |
| godbyk | dsmythies: Though I'd write DeskTop as Desktop anyway. | 06:34 |
| dsmythies | godbyk: O.K. | 06:38 |
| godbyk | dsmythies: What time zone are you in? US/Pacific? | 06:44 |
| dsmythies | godbyk: Yes. I think 2 hours behind you. | 06:46 |
| godbyk | dsmythies: Yeah, I'm US/Central. | 06:47 |
| dsmythies | hmmm... now the ! that belkinsa taught me becomes visible, so had to delete it. Grrrr, I hate the automatic link thingy. | 06:47 |
| godbyk | I do, too. Who uses WikiWords these days? | 06:48 |
| godbyk | They were just a quick hack to begin with. | 06:48 |
| pleia2 | heh, yeah, I have to escape them more often than they are useful | 06:50 |
| belkinsa | dsmythies, does '' work? | 13:17 |
| belkinsa | ``* | 13:17 |
| === jpds_ is now known as jpds | ||
| dsmythies | belkinsa: I guess that change that godbyk recommended changed the word from one that needed to be forced to not be a link to one that did not need to be forced to not be a link. So then the ! became visible. To answer your actual question, I didn't try the pleia2 method. | 14:57 |
| belkinsa | Yeah, but it only works for things that can be changed that way. Not like LoCo. | 14:58 |
| dsmythies | belkinsa: Is it a Capital letter somewhere inside the word that makes the wiki decide it should be a link? | 15:00 |
| belkinsa | Yes. | 15:00 |
| dsmythies | Oh. | 15:00 |
| belkinsa | JustLikeThis. It's a wiki word format that it uses. | 15:01 |
| dsmythies | I'm not familiar with wiki word format. | 15:02 |
| belkinsa | I'm not, but I learned it from working on new pages for the Ubuntu Women wiki. | 15:02 |
| belkinsa | Okay, the `` and ! doesn't work. I tired on LoCo on my wiki page and both didn't fix the problem. | 16:30 |
| dsmythies | belkinsa: the ! did fix the issue for me, when I was still using DeskTop as the word. | 16:49 |
| belkinsa | I will try again. | 16:50 |
| belkinsa | Yeah, it fixes it when you save not preview mode. | 16:52 |
| dsmythies | I thought I did preview it, but perhaps not. | 16:53 |
| belkinsa | `` doesn't fix it though after saving, ! does fix it. | 16:56 |
| belkinsa | slickymaster, ping. | 18:13 |
| dsmythies | belkinsa: For me. Test results: ! with Preview worked fine. `` with preview did not. I didn't try save, because it was just a test edit. | 19:17 |
| belkinsa | Weird. | 19:17 |
| * belkinsa shrugs | 19:18 | |
| * dsmythies shrugs also. | 19:18 | |
| KI7MT | dsmythies, This page has several examples of links, using CapWords also !CapWords and several other link methods: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnLinking .. then on this one, Avoid or Limit Auto Links: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax#Hyperlinks | 21:56 |
| dsmythies | KI7MT: Thanks. Aghhhh..... Now I understand the pleia2 method, it's Desk``Top not ``DeskTop (which previews fine). I better save the links somewhere that I will remember. | 22:04 |
| belkinsa | Thank you, KI7MT. | 22:05 |
| KI7MT | dsmythies, Maybe create a Wiki page with both pages combined as a how-too / quick ref :) | 22:05 |
| belkinsa | So, LoCo, will be Lo``Co in that method? | 22:05 |
| dsmythies | yes. | 22:05 |
| belkinsa | I was thinking about doing that but I think the ref page is made and might just be linked to some other page where people can see it. | 22:06 |
