Seriously - read the original question again. We are nearly, nearly
there already. Lets just finish what is already started. I'm not
asking to go in a different direction - this is already the direction
the docs are going in<br>
<br>
Consider that:<br>
- PmWiki has changed the default to not space wiki links.<br>
- Therefore it becomes significant if we write "Wiki Style" or
"WikiStyle" since they will appear differently now (previously with
auto spacing they would appear the same).<br>
- Nearly everywhere the trend has been to add a space, eg "Wiki style"
or "Wiki Style".<br>
- However, I sense that there is some strong feeling that there are
still a few "proper nouns" which should be left unspaced, eg "PmWiki"
appears to be one which is declared should be left unspaced? Are there
any others, eg I can see a case for "WikiStyle" or "WikiTrail" being
used as a "proper noun" and being left unspaced deliberately? If so
then I propose that we should reverse the documentation wording for
those links and use the non spaced version consistently?<br>

<p>Unless I'm misunderstanding what I see Ed requesting is some help
in identifying areas of the documentation where the more complex forms
of linking are used so we can simplify them. This will allow local
changes to the link patterns, without causing issues with links in the
core PmWiki documentation (except in extreme cases).</p>

Forget about the link patterns - he was offering to help fixup a bunch
of documentation and improve it's quality. The side benefit to him was
that the link pattern changing becomes possible, but the benefit to
PmWiki is that they get their master documentation improved!<br>
<br>
I have pretty much had enough of this stupid digging in of heels though
- if you are chasing away someone offering to improve the docs then
this project really is going to slow down...<br>
