resources /Web Tricks /Escape Wiki Words

Instructions

Problem
You want to include a word in your text that happens to look like a WikiWord, but you don't want it to automatically link to a page.
Solution
Use a tilde (~) in front of the word.

Example

If I wanted to say the name of my radio show, but did not want it to make a link to a page I would type the following in the source of the wiki page
My radio show is called ~GeekSpeak.
And that would create this text
My radio show is called GeekSpeak.
To put a tilde on a page simply use two of them
 My user web space is danm.ucsc.edu/~~lyle.
Which would show
My user web space is danm.ucsc.edu/~lyle.
