Question

When I make a title like this, TWiki shows it as if it is a link (blue and underline when the pointer flies over):

---++ This should not be a Link

When I make a title like this, TWiki shows it in (normal) black:

---++ This is OK

It has something to do with the capital letters, I think TWiki tries to make a WikiWord out of the first title. It has also something to do with the GnuSkin plugin.

This is very confusing for the users of my homepage! They keep come complaining that some links don't work or that they layout doesn't make any sense.

Answer

I do not have an answer for you, just escaped the headings so that other people can see it without editing the topic. Try to disable the GNU skin to verify if causes the problem. Possibly the GnuSkin folks know more.

Answer 2

I have tested it by disabling the GNU skin, and apperantly the error dissapears, so it is a GNU skin error. I'll try contacting these guys. Thanks anyway,

HELP

I cannot reach the GnuSkin maintainer, JoachimNilsson, his emails seem to be invalid. Does it mean I cannot get any support?

Hi! The same problem has annoyed me for a while, too.

Yes, the account for the problem is the words only with capital letters or WikiWord.

You can avoid this problem, if you use <nop> tags around the words like abbreiviation or WikiWord's.

I also use GNU skin and thought, at first, it could be a GNU skin error. I studied the source of the output HTML. Then I figured it out, that the lines, which appear black, are not correctly surrounded by the anchor tags.

According to a comment in TWiki.pm, the headers with abbreviation or WikiWords are treated differently to avoid nested anchor tags.

Answer 4

David Everly has a patch for this listed at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/GnuSkinPluginDev. Note: The lines in black are correct, it's the ones in Blue that are rendered incorrectly.
