[cgi-wiki-dev] Wiki::Toolkit

[Kate L Pugh]

Jon, I already asked Martin this, so don't think I'm picking on you.
Could you interleave your replies and snip out the quoted bits you're
not directly replying to, please?  I'm asking this as List Mom.

Martin asked this on the wiki; see
  http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/wiki-toolkit/wiki.cgi?node=SiteComments

In short - someone needs to write the code to do this, and I believe it
can easily be cannibalised from OpenGuides.

You want:

  [[Division of labour between the main classes]]

to create a link to that node.

I'm not going to *mandate* that people use this kind of node name
instead of StudlyCaps, but it might be better, for the sake of consistency.
