Bug: WEB NAME EXPANSION WITH CERTAIN TEXT

Test case

The following notation will create a link to a WikiWord using different text (see raw text):

  • Edit: [[Main.WebHome][Text]]
  • View: Text

...however, if the web name starts with a small letter (such as "nFusia"), this translates to this (see raw text):

  • Edit: [[nFusia.WebHome][Text]]
  • View: Text

...even if I provide the "nFusia" part in a variable such as %NFNAME% the same thing appears to happen.

Fix record

I worked around this by using the more cumbersome, URL-centric reference notation that the December '00 release used in its default pages.

Environment

TWiki version: 8/01 (beta3)
TWiki plugins: none (std)
Server OS: Linux/x86 (Mandrake 6)
Web server: Apache
Perl version: 5.x
Client OS: Win2k, OS X
Web Browser: IE5

The current spec is that Web names must start with a capital letter (the regular expression for webs is ([A-Z]+[a-z0-9]*). This could be relaxed in a future release.

Just realize that TWikiInstallationGuide needs to be updated to be more specific about that.
