Free_Links
You can now force a link over arbitrary text by putting it in brackets, like this: Alabama.
Also, something I just now learned from reading the source code, you can link to ISBN's like this: ISBN: 0887308856
Excellent! Now, is there a way to automate the conversion of old-style links (and pages) to new-style links? I seem to remember Cliff saying something about doing this. For example, I would like to convert links that look like LarrysText to Larry's Text; then it would be cool also to convert the pages themselves, in this case to Larry's Text (since apostrophes are not allowed in page names). What are the chances of this happening anytime soon? -- Larry Sanger
I am all for consistency. We should henceforth use free linking. We should also get the above question answered...that could save us a lot of mind-numbing gruntwork. -- Larry Sanger
Why doesn't my Free Links work correctly. Is it because they contain non-ASCII characters? Look at Sweden for Göteborg and Malmö.
