Can anyone tell me if there is a convention for making wiki words from single word book titles? -- MichaelFeathers

---

Hi, Michael. Welcome to Bookshelved. I recognize you from [Ward's Wiki] and [Artima]. To make a single-word wiki word, enclose the word in double square brackets: [[]]. Just follow the UseMod:UseModWiki UseMod:TextFormattingRules. You can see some examples of single-word titles--and titles that include numbers--in ElizabethWiethoff/BooksReadIn2005 and ElizabethWiethoff/Disasters. I've also created some interesting link examples here on your home page. -- ElizabethWiethoff

Thanks Elizabeth! -- MichaelFeathers
