Apostrophes and quotes - Page 2

So, something you can flag on a topic (hey, I managed to avoid the word 'set') that puts it into "manual link only" mode?

Sorry for drawing us off topic and hijacking the thread....

We already have the "shown" checkbox for topics and snippets. Maybe a "parsed" checkbox that defaults to always on?

Don't make the mistake of using 'Will' as an alias of Will saving throw in 3.5 edition or Pathfinder, or you will (see what I mean?) be doing a lot of link overriding. This is really a fairly gross oversight not to offer treating words not starting with a capital as ordinary words on at least a case basis.

While we are at it, I can't get the program to auto-link possessives. That is something like "Thor's Hammer" won't auto-link (or at least I can't get it to work).

I have a bug report in about quotes messing up auto-linking. My specifics are about aliases ending in quotes, but there seems to be issues with quotes in alias text and auto-linking.

What if, upon saving and prior to the links being established, there was an option to auto-replace the quotes and apostrophes to a default character? Part of this check would be to allow for matching case or not. These could be options in the settings, so you don't have to go through the process each time. You just "set it and forget it".

While I have not run into these problems yet, I can see the potential for errors and mistakes. I will definitely run into the issue with Set and set.

To change ‘Drow’ to “Drow” or any other combo simply go to the drow article and change ‘Drow’ to “Drow” now everything that was ‘Drow’ will be Drow”. Repeat as many times as needed and you can combine different spelling and such under one spelling.
