Wikilinks

Resolution

In principle, wb does the best effort to find your document. Whether you are a disciplined wiki author using proper CamelCaseTitles or just throwing some docs around (and moving them endlessly), wb will try its best to always resolve your documents.

Tip: see also Backlinks

You can link wb documents using Wiki-like syntax:

[[link]]

or

[[Link]]

This will resolve to either:

  1. link.md file, if present in current document’s directory. In this case, the HTML link contents will resolve to Document Titles.
  2. link/index.html if present, relative to current document’s directory. In this case, the HTML link contents will resolve to directory name.
  3. any document, in any location, that is found first (no guarantees with regards to the order) whose basename matches link. For example if none of the above matches, but there is a foo/bar/link.md file somewhere it will match.
  4. using “liberal search” – any document that is found first (no guarantees with regards to the order) whose title matches “link”. The match is exact, but case insensetive, so a document with “LiNk” title will match, whereas a title “Some link” will not. In this case, the HTML link contents will resolve to Document Titles.

Overriding document titles

Optionally document titles can be overriden with special wikilinks syntax:

[[link|Alternative Title]]

Linking to tags

Document Tags can be linked using the same wikilinks syntax but with a hash symbol (#) prepended to the document title. Example:

[[#mytag]]
