I did a search and didn't find anything on this topic so my apologies if I missed it.

One problem we all seem to have is that while the automatic linking is one of the best features in RW, common words are an issue unless we never want to link them. I'm thinking of things like the "Fly" spell. Every time I have "fly" in my text, I have to "ignore link" at least once when saving. I've debated making the topic title "@Fly" or "FLY" (and matching cases but even that seems to pop up with a search).

I'm wondering if there is a way to set use italics in the topic title and use it as criteria for linking? Things like spell names seem to have this as a standard formatting procedure in D&D books at the very least.

What I am wanting to do is italicize certain titles like "Fly" and then choose an option to ignore the link if it was not in the snippet text in this format. "He was going to fly to the moon" would not come up with a link in this case but "he threw a Fly spell" would since I might want to go to the spell definition.

Using all caps is another option (I think) but it really looks ugly in the middle of the snippet text so I've been avoiding it. It's also more work since if you are importing from a pdf, you have to change the italics to all caps.

Perhaps I have missed something? Is there another easy option?
