SingletonWikiWordPlugin

Introduction

This designates that a single word is a reference to a single word. To show TWiki that it should be linked to, write a dot before it.

Hence if you have the WikiWord Ontology you can link to it as .Ontology

In fact, you can already force a single word link to a WikiWord by enclosing it in double square brackets, like this: [[.Ontology]]

This plugin allows you to write it without the square brackets.

The syntax was chosen to be an extension of the Web.Topic syntax.
