Bumpy Word

What is a BumpyWord?

A BumpyWord is formed by capitalising two or more words and RunningThemTogether without spaces. Words written this way will automatically link to a page of the same name. If no page exists (yet) the BumpyWord will have a question mark next to it which can be clicked to create the page.

These are all BumpyWords:

• HowItWorks (links to How It Works)
• RecentChanges (links to Recent Changes)
• JoeBloggs (links to Joe Bloggs)

Each capital letter must be followed by at least one lower-case letter and the word mustn't contain numbers. This means that none of the following will work as BumpyWords:

• NASA (must be a lower case letter after each upper case letter)
• HereIAm (same problem)
• Help (only one word)
• Over60s (no numbers)

If you need to name a page like this, put square brackets round the linking text:

• [NASA] -> ??NASA
• [HereIAm] -> ??Here I Am
• [Help] -> ??Help
• [Over60s] -> ??Over 60 s

But it's easier for all if you can think of a way to re-word the page name as a real BumpyWord.

When the BumpyWord is displayed on the web page SiteWriter can optionally split it into its component words: Bumpy Word

If you want to write a BumpyWord but don't want it to appear as a link (like all the occurences of 'BumpyWord' on this page...) you can put a ! before the word and it will appear as plain text.
