This can be cured by removing all the spaces from any existing topic names, but there is still an issue with [[double bracket links]], which currently allow users to create a new topic with spaces.

This is trivially solved by adding the following line before line 3242 of TWiki.pm

$string =~ s/\s//g;

my @result

( DevelopBranch has a better fix. )

This will break compatibility with older versions of TWiki, due to the removal of support for spaces in topic, web, path and filenames.

Correction on [[spaced word link]] rule: This points to SpacedWordLink, e.g. is not affected by this fix.

There is a known issue that it is (halfway) possible to create spaced topics using the GoBox, which is a bug (it should behave the same as the topic link rule)

So this will not break compatibility with existing TWiki topic text.
