proWiki D Shortcut links

There are several shortcut links to reference content on other D related websites (see the "interweb" settings on the Context page for a full list). You use them similar to other links by surrounding them with the square brackets []:

DsourceProject:projectName for projects located on http://www.dsource.org/projects
DigitalMars:d/link for content found at http://www.digitalmars.com/
NG:digitalmars.group/num for content found on the newsgroup 'group.' This should be replaced with D, announce, learn, etc. where num is the article number.

Wiki Link Issues

There are times when a wiki link just doesn't want to do what you tell it. For example the link below:

     [D Tutorial/StartingWithD/Compiler/DMD Installing DMD]

As you can see it completely ignore how I told it to build the link. You can force an inline link by:

     {{D__Tutorial/StartingWithD/Compiler/DMD}}
     D Tutorial/StartingWithD/Compiler/DMD

But if you want to have a cleaner look you will need to use:

     [[link]Installing DMD[url=http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/StartingWithD/Compiler/DMD]]
     Installing DMD

Automatic Linkage with Camel Case Words

By default, words that start with an uppercase letter and continue with a mixture of lower and upper case letters, are interpreted as a link to another wiki page on this site. To avoid this happening, enclose the word(s) with the <nowiki> and </nowiki> tags.
