Discussion and Answer

That is possible with the topic parent feature. Whenever you create a new topic by clicking on a red-link, that new topic is a child of the originating topic that had the red-link. You can also set a parent or reparent a topic in the "More topic action" screen. The parent trail is indicated by the P > P > P trail in the pulldown menu-bar.

Hi Peter i did create child topics the way you suggested but i wanted to know is there a way i can include this P > P > P trail(or say i am here breadcrum) anywhere else on the page/topic which makes it clear to everybody that its a child page of some topic and doesn't necessarily have to browse the pull down menu for this.

Also is it any way possible that new topics get created automatically as WikiWords. I have seen if the topic name is a single word then it doesn't convert the topic name as wikiword on its own. Is there a way to do this. I appreciate your help on this

1. See VarPARENTTOPIC and VarMETA's "parent"
2. Use double-square brackets, see TWikiEditingShorthand
