Escaping WikiNames

!WikiName

WikiName

Referencing a WikiName which contains special characters

Some wiki page names contain certain characters (including spaces) which require special treatment in order to link to them properly. The character in question must be replaced by an escape code. Because the name may then look strange (e.g. Wiki_20Policy), it is wise to alias it as shown above, e.g.:

[wiki:Self:Wiki_20Policy Wiki Policy] which looks like: Wiki Policy

Character	Character definition	Escape code
	space	_20
-	dash	_2d
/	backslash	use '/' or _2f

Escaping Special Characters

`''Some ["text"]''`

''Some ["text"]''

Breaks

To display verse or similar text that has line breaks within a paragraph, use the
macro, e.g.:

This sentence shows[[BR()]] a break in a line.

This sentence shows
a break in a line.

Variable substitution

The values of these variables are placed only when the page being edited is saved. They will not appear during page preview. Saved template and form definition pages do not expand variables, either, but anything else will, unless you escape it with six quotes between the first @ and the rest of it.

@PAGE@ (lists the name of the current page)

example: SyntaxReference

@DATE@ (lists current date in system format)

example: 2004-08-14

@TIME@ (lists current date and time in user's format)

example: 2004-08-14 01:13:32

@USERNAME@ (lists user's name, or her domain/IP)

example: MayLith

@USER@ (creates a signature: "-- loginname")

example: -- MayLith

@SIG@ (creates a dated signature: "-- loginname date time")

example: -- MayLith 2004-08-14 01:13:32

@MAILTO@ (creates a mailto, works if an email address has been given; I've crippled mine manually.)

example: MayLith

(Temp) chatter

MayLith: Re: referencing special wiki names: It seems that both % and _ work. I haven't yet found information anywhere regarding this, so I don't know whether there is any difference between them. Guidance would be appreciated.

NeilStevens: Well, there are technical reasons behind that, but I don't see the benefit of bringing it up. We *could* do a complicated song and dance about the formal standards of URLs, or just stick with telling people about the one method documented to work and move on.

MayLith: I'm not trying to nitpick or make things more complex than necessary. I happened over the fact purely by chance, since I haven't found info on wiki linking/aliasing anywhere that is more detailed (or at least more understandable) than what is on this page. I can whip up a decent basic website, but I don't know the formal standards. So, if you could please indicate the format that is standard and edit this page to reflect that, great. Or, tell me and I'll do it. I admit to curiosity about the hows and whys, though; if you would privately point me towards appropriate URL(s), I would like to learn.

NeilStevens: Well, representing non-alphanumeric characters with percents is in the URL standard, I'm sure. Check the RFCs or the W3C webpage. The underscore method would be the one implemented by the wiki, and the one that's probably more reliable to use.

MayLith: Why is there a difference in reliability? (Or is that one of those dissertation type answers? ) I reworded "Referencing a WikiName which contains special characters" subsection.
