Alternate topic names

Terek · October 26th, 2013, 05:02 AM

I was wondering if it would be possible to list on a topic an alternate auto-linkable name, so if it finds that name it would automatically link to the topic. For instance, on one module I am running, there is a location referenced by two different names. The Witch Tower, and The Collapsed Tower. When I am entering in text whenever I type The Collapsed Tower I manually link it to The Witch Tower.

This is just a request and there is no urgency to it.

Thanks

This exists. The "Manage Aliases" function from the tools menu on the topic itself lets you specify exactly these, and they do auto-link.

Thank you Silveras. That works beautifully.

Auto-links from text that I type in, like descriptions?

If so, then...

WOW!

I like it.

Is there a way to look at the overall list of aliases? Not going in to each topic, but a list of all aliases and what topics use them?
