setting a topic to not be linkable?

[adzling]

Apologize If I missed this in those massive long tutorial videos somewhere but does anyone if it's possible to set a topic to not be linked to?

Example: I have a topic called "Government Buildings" that holds generic maps and details for things like police stations etc.

I don't want Realmworks to auto-create links from snippet body text every time it finds "government buildings" somewhere.

Please someone tell me I'm missing something obvious here ;-)

If you go to the Names/Aliases dialog (Ctrl + Shift + A) for the topic, you can set the priority to Never. I think that will do what you are trying to do.

nope, that just lets you add additional names afaik

There does not seem to be a way to stop the topic title from being linked to.

anyone?

+ it would be insanely helpful to be able to exclude linking from all entries in specific sub-group shown in the left navigation pane.

For example I dump all my generic content into "Other".

I would really like any entry in "other" to not be linkable.

On the "Manage Names" dialog, under "Priority", even for the Topic Title, I see "Normal", "Prefer", "Avoid", and "Never". That controls the linking, along with the "Case Matching" setting.

The Alias functionality doesn't get a lot of discussion but it's a huge time saver for those of us that enter a lot of data or use duplicate names for locations and adventure areas.

@Dakadin and @Silveras are correct, you can turn off linking if you follow their instructions.

I use it extensively. But only because RW doesn't recognize plurals.

Ever monster entry has a Orc and Orcs entry

There was a post about it in the past (I think by Rob),
if I remember correctly the gist of it was that -
Grammar is not supported, your simple plural (add s) is something completely different in other languages

Finnish has 15 noun cases which makes RW link detection somewhat challenging . Simple word as "dog" might change to "dogit", "dogille", "dogista", "dogiin", "dogitta", ... Wikipedia

I have resolved this using two methods:
- adding abbreviations for my NPCs (i.e. Napoleon Bonaparte is nNB) and linking those as aliases
- adding the article title in parenthesis ("PCs met dogin (dog)").

wow, ok found it finally.

I think the problem here is that the drop down is just simple text with no visual indicator to show that is actually is a drop down menu.

No arrow, no highlight, nothing.

I believe this is another example of poor interface design or lackthereof.

thanks for the multiple replies though, very helpful!
