Hello, did someone, by any chance, already make that change?

The setting was changed from true to false in past on purpose. I found it very annoying that all the words were capitalized, even if there was no reason to capitalized them. Filenames (like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cont-tmf.zip, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/First-setup.sh) are not the only cases. "write18" is another one etc. Even if you change that setting, you still have no idea whether a page is "Font Tools" or "Font tools" or "font tools". You can make a link to [[font tools]] or [[headers and footers]] inside your sentence, but that still won't help you to get to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Tools http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers and most article names are actually very hard to guess, and in contrast to wikipedia, the ConTeXt wiki hardly covers any substantial amount of common words or phrases. > Motivation below.

I agree, but having filenames capitalized is even more silly. > * article titles will consistently be displayed in Titlecase That is not always desired. > * for titles that should start in lowercase, such as [[texexec]] or > [[first-setup]], we'll need to add e.g. {{DISPLAYTITLE:texexec}}. That partially compensates, but ... Mojca PS: can anyone please explain me what's with http://wiki.contextgarden.net/First-setup.sh it's almost "an infinite chain" of redirects ... The real page, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/First-setup, is the one that actually makes least sense to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
