Camel Case is a term used to refer to a writing style that uses uppercase letters to indicate the start of words within a string of concatenated words. For example: NewTopic.
Like other Wikis, EnBase recognises camel case words as hyperlinks. EnBase also has some unique features:
- EnBase is not limited to the Latin script letters A to Z, it can also interprete camel case words written in Cyrillic script.
- Camel case words within blocks of program code that use the HTML <code> tag will not be converted to hyperlinks.
For Camel Case style names (AmiPro) that you do not want EnBase to automatically treat as a hyperlink, you can either wrap the Camel Case word in an HTML <code> tags like this: <code>ProgramExample</code> or use the custom <nowiki> tag like this <nowiki>ThisExample</nowiki>.
NOTE:
Microsoft have muddied the water somewhat on their MSDN site, which describes capitalisation styles recommended for .NET Framework developers; this refers to what the Wiki community call CamelCase as "Pascal Case"; furthermore, what most programming old hands call 'Hungarian Notation', Microsoft refers to as CamelCase.
So in the Microsoft world, Camel Case is where the first letter of an identifier is lowercase, and the first letter of each subsequent concatenated word is capitalised. For example: backColor. Whereas, Pascal Case is where the first letter in the identifier and the first letter of each subsequent concatenated word are capitalised. For example: BackColor.
