WikiWord

25th November 2010
By convention in the TiddlyWiki format, any single word that has a capital letter placed in the middle of it is automatically recognised by the TiddlyWiki (functioning as a kind of 'code') so that the TiddlyWiki turns that word into a link to another Tiddler. At the same time the software autimatically forms a new tiddler with its title as that new WikiWord (which will be empty until it is filled with MicroContent...) so, for instance, EmpyThought will be empty unless you choose fill it! (you can click on EmptyThought and see what I mean if you want.)

This is useful if you Edit the manual - i.e. make new patient notes entries, or compose new Tiddlers - and wish to place a Link to another Thought.

It helps you make quick Links to new Tiddlers, however, the WikiWord looks a bit odd in 'ordinary' text so we are slowly trying to replace WikiWord titles with more conventional language forms!

Of course the OTHER way to make Links is to place double square brackets ( [[Title of tiddler goes here]]) around any word or phrase. You can learn more about how to Edit the manual by following the tag Understanding TiddlyManual format.
