CamelCase linking

CamelCase is a form of markup used in many wikis where words capitalized and compounded together without spaces LikeThis, are used to create links.

By default, CamelCasing is not enabled in Confluence. However, a [site administrator] can turn on CamelCasing from the [Administration Console]. For more information about activating CamelCase Links, see Enabling CamelCase Linking in the Confluence Administrator's Guide.

Linking to a Page in the Same Space

where:

'CamelCasePage' is the name of the page you want to link to.

Linking to a Page you Intend to Create Later

Confluence allows you to create links first and add add content to pages later. This type of a link is an undefined link and is indicated with the plus sign. Clicking on the link will bring up a screen where you can add content for the page.

where:

'NonExistentPage' is the title of the page you intend to create later.

Preventing a CamelCase Word from Becoming a Link

Sometimes you may wish to use a CamelCase word in a page, but do not want it to be drawn as a link. You can accomplish this using the {nolink} macro:

{nolink} and {nl} do the same thing, just use whichever you find more convenient.

The {nolink} and {nl} macros are only available in Confluence 2.1.3 or later. In versions of Confluence prior to 2.1.3, there is no way to prevent a CamelCase word from becoming a link short of disabling CamelCase linking across the entire Confluence site.

Notes

• CamelCase affecting links to attachments. If you have CamelCase enabled, you may see an error when using mixed case (capital and lower case letters compounded together without spaces LikeThis) in your attachment file name.
  The error looks like this:
  Unable to render embedded object: File (NameOfAttachment.gif) not found.
  To fix this problem, you can change your attachment file name or disable CamelCase.
