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 |

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 |

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! |
