Question

In Apache, I can configure the server so that, if I specify a URL with a directory path, Apache displays the default page (e.g. index.html).

I haven't seen a way to do this in TWiki.

If I want to refer to the Sandbox I can use

Sandbox.WebHome

but that will put the word

WebHome

on the page. I want the word Sandbox on the page.

I can use

[[Sandbox.WebHome][Sandbox]]

but that seems like an excess of syntax.

Is there a simple way to refer to the top of a web?

Answer

[[Sandbox.WebHome Sandbox]]

would work if EasierLinking is implemented. It uses slightly less syntax but that's about the limit.

Or there's the InterWiki link TWiki:Sandbox which does work with EasierLinking so you could have

[[TWiki:Sandbox Sandbox]]

which renders as: TWiki:Sandbox Sandbox

Pick a short alias to put in the InterSiteLinkRules for your site and it wouldn't be too cumbersome.
