MakeWikiWord - butscher/WikidPad GitHub Wiki

Here is a script you can use to replace any highlighted word with it's equivalent wrapped in brackets so Frodo => [Frodo]

1) If you go into your \user_extensions\EvalLibrary.py file (copy it from \extensions\ if not available and add the following:

def WWord(editor):
	text = editor.GetSelectedText()	# Get Text that is selected from the editor
	text = text.replace("'", "")	# Get rid of all the nasty apostrophes which negate the wikiword
	text = text.title()				# Properly Capitalize, etc.
	text = "[" + text + "]"			# Write Wiki Brackets around
	editor.ReplaceSelection(text)	# Replace the selection with our newly edited text

2) Restart WikidPad 3) Add the following to the page you want this to work on:

<% 1: lib.WWord(editor) %>

4) Highlight a word and press Control+1 and it should do what you want.

Q: I'm trying to figure out how to integrate this as a global function so if anyone knows of a way to do that, please let me know.

A: See UrlifyFile

Added by '''jaysen''' - heres an adaptation that will work with many words ("test one two" changes to "TestOneTwo")

    words = text.rsplit(' ')
