Question

I'm pretty sure I saw at one time long ago a configuration setting that would allow the TWiki administrator to create a list of CamelCase words that are NOT to be interpreted as WikiWords, for all webs on a given TWiki server.

Now that I need that functionality, I can't find where that configuration is done. Maybe I'm just googling for the wrong search terms, but I tried like the dickens and can't find anything relevant.

Answer

Currently you can only turn off autolinking for a block of text with <noautolink&gt tags, or for the whole site or whole web with a NOAUTOLINK = on setting.

You could create a NoAutolinkPlugin that escapes WikiWords defined in an exclude list in the preferences. How:

• In initPlugin read a preferences setting that can be on site level and/or web level, e.g.
  • Set NOAUTOLINKWORDS = RedHat, McIntosh
• Build a regular expression from this, e.g. $excludeRegex containing (^|[\(\s])(RedHat|McIntosh)
• In the startRenderingHandler escape the WikiWords using the regex:
  $_[0] =~ s/$excludeRegex/$1<nop>$2/g;

This is not tested but should give you enough ideas on how to proceed.
