Question

Hi- Using the Dec 18th Beta Release on a Dreamhost server, I've bumped into another problem that doesn't seem addressed anywhere:

<noautolink> and "set NOAUTOLINK = on" work fine in the main text of a page, but NOT in a template.

AND

%META{"parent"}% works fine in a template, but NOT in the main text of a page.

SO

How can I show the user the Parent page WITHOUT having it linked, or sometimes (in my case) with a question mark after it.

Thanks !

Answer

This area needs some enhancements.

Currently you can't get at the parent meta data in the topic text.

In the templates you can use use %META{"parent"}% with options, see TWikiMetaData#Rendering_Meta_Data

However, the current implementation always renders the topics as links. You would need to tweak the sub renderParent in TWiki.pm with a new option to not render topics as links.
