This plugin replaces the current DokuWiki handlers for CamelCase markup. It will create a link to a page with underscores between the CamelCase words.

e.g.

CamelCase => camel_case

Standard DokuWiki behaviour is to create a link to a page with the CamelCase converted to all lower case (e.g. camelcase). This can result in reduced readability for the page names. An alternative is to set the config option useheading in your conf/local.php file.

as described in DokuWiki's syntax

This is really nice! I've wanted this feature for a long time for my wiki.

Thank you for this plugin. Is there a way to prevent selected camel case words becoming a links, such as for ex. using ~ before the word in certain other wikis?
