Template:ID
From ErfWiki
[edit] Usage
Converts a name to a wikified name:
[[subst:ID|Stanley]] => Stanley --straightforward substitution
[[subst:ID|Stanley the Plaid]] => Stanley the Plaid -- another straightforward substitution
[[subst:ID|Caster]] => Caster --Substitution when there is no canonical name is a no-op
[[subst:ID|Stanley|him]]=>him --Occasionally the plaintext cannot key the appropriate substitution.
- The idea is to be able to wikify a bunch of text with minimal work, just by wrapping
- [[subst:ID|...]] or occasionally
- [[subst:ID|Name|...]] around the terms to be wikified, and having the system do the appropriate linkage. This is reliant on a large collection of aliases. but I'm experimenting with two.
- unfortunately, I'm floundering about how to make this work.
