WordsLikeThisAreTreatedAsLinks

See what I mean? Whenever anybody embeds a capital LetTer inside a word that has an initial cap, the word becomes a link.

Fortunately words that are all CAPS do not trigger the same response.

So, if somebody wanted to talk about something that fits that template, they would inadvertently create linked pages.

This behavior is by design. The ease of specifying a link using a WordLikeThis is traded off against the possibility of a "false positive". I'm open to suggestions on how this could be improved. --DaveSmith

I like it, actually. And it's easy for those of us with some geek-ness in us who are used to writing method names like this. BTW, you can get around it by Inserting_Underscores as well.

And who's to say that someone may not want to link to a comment on an inadvertent phrase that matches the template? And it's easy enough see you've done it, then to edit it or remove it. -- JimJarrett

Someone listed Jean Mc Lendon's name, and it created a link to a possible page. So all you Irish and Scottish folks, for example, might want to put a space between the two capitalized parts of the name, if you don't want to create a false link. Or, you can use some other character that won't be too conspicuous, as in Mc.Lendon. - JerryWeinberg

If you used brackets like <This link goes somewhere.> or {This is a link.} then there would be few false positives and links could have spaces or be all upper case or contain underscores. Maybe that's too geeky. DickKarpinski

Yes, way too geeky, even though most of us here are geeks, and proud of it. - JerryWeinberg
