No, but since DokuWiki makes everything lower case *and* removes
accents etc. the page names really can't look nice. If I name the
page 'What sort' then DokuWiki will change it to what_sort which isn't
nearly so pretty.
I can't just call it 'boats' because 90% of the pages would be called
'boats', it's a Wiki about buying a boat! :-)
I have found the solution though, it's very simple, the meta plugin
allows me to do *exactly* what I want. With the meta plugin installed
I just put:-
~~meta:title=What sort~~
on the page and it's done.
There is a sub-plot to this, I've written a reStructuredText parsing
plugin and have whole pages imported from elsewhere which are written
in reStructuredText. These have their own titles etc. which aren't
visible to DokuWiki and I wanted an easy way to set their titles. The
meta plugin provides just what I want, I just need to wrap my
reStructuredText with:-
~~meta:title=Title for DokuWiki~~
<rst>
loads of reStructuredText
</rst>
... and it's all done.
The reStructuredText plugin is a trivial conversion of the markdown2
plugin. It just calls the docutils HTML parser rst2html to do the
conversion.
