--- layout: wiki title: CamelCase updated: 2021-04-16 08:14 author: trac default: true --- ## CamelCase New wiki links are automatically created when concatenating capitalized words, such that for example the words 'Camel' and 'Case' concatenated form a link to this [CamelCase](/briareus/notes/CamelCase/) page. CamelCase is the original wiki convention for creating hyperlinks, with the additional requirement that the capital letters are followed by a lower-case letter; hence "AlabamA" and "ABc" will not be links. ### Customizing the Wiki behavior While Trac remains faithful to the original Wiki style, it also provides a number of ways to accommodate users with different preferences: - To prevent the creation of a link for the [CamelCase](/briareus/notes/CamelCase/) word, prefix the word with an exclamation mark (\`\!\`): \`CamelCase\`. - By default a [CamelCase](/briareus/notes/CamelCase/) word with no corresponding Wiki page will be rendered as a gray link followed by a question mark. This is useful for example when the [CamelCase](/briareus/notes/CamelCase/) style is used to name code artefacts like class names, and a Wiki page is expected to exist to document each class. The behavior can be configured through the "[wiki ignore_missing_pages"\] option in [TracIni](/briareus/notes/TracIni/). - To automatically insert space characters between the words of a [CamelCase](/briareus/notes/CamelCase/) link when rendering the link, enable "[wiki split_page_names"\] of [TracIni](/briareus/notes/TracIni/). - Creation of explicit Wiki links is also easy, see [WikiPageNames](/briareus/notes/WikiPageNames/) for details. - Wiki formatting can be disabled completely in some places, for example when rendering commit log messages. See the "[wiki wiki_format_messages"\] option in [TracIni](/briareus/notes/TracIni/). See [TracIni](/briareus/notes/TracIni/) for more information on the available options. ### More information on CamelCase - - --- See also: [WikiPageNames](/briareus/notes/WikiPageNames/), [WikiNewPage](/briareus/notes/WikiNewPage/), [WikiFormatting](/briareus/notes/WikiFormatting/), [TracWiki](/briareus/notes/TracWiki/)
