From TWiki to Markdown: Words in PascalCase not converted to links

[oraculix]

Hi there,
while converting an old Wiki to Markdown, it occurred to me that all links in classic WikiLinkSyntax aren't converted to Markdown Links. I tried with markdown, markdown_mmd and gfm, all with the same negative results.

Environment(s):

• Fedora Linux 40, x64
• pandoc 3.1.3 (-server +lua)
• also pandoc 3.2 (+server +lua) from the Docker Registry

Example input:

This is a ClassicWikiLink.

This is an !EscapedWikiWord that must not be converted to a link.

Command line: pandoc -f twiki -t markdown test.txt

Expected output:

This is a [ClassicWikiLink](ClassicWikiLink).

This is an EscapedWikiWord that must not be converted to a link.

Example output:

This is a ClassicWikiLink.

This is an EscapedWikiWord that must not be converted to a link.

Interestingly, !EscapedWikiWords are respected as such, but why are links not created, then?
Before I open an issue, maybe something very simple escaped me?
I mean, internal WikiLinks are one of the most basic features of a Wiki, so shouldn't this be implemented (above expected output would work for my case, going to Obsidian.md)?

Cheers,
Uwe

Indeed, automatic linking of CamlCase words doesn't seem to be implemented in the twiki reader. We could add it easily enough; please submit an issue.

Never mind, I've just fixed this.

Thanks for the prompt answer, John. And, BTW, thanks for your work on the fantastic pandoc!
Issue / feature request #9944 is opened.

Kind regards,
Uwe

Oops, race condition occurred. :-D

BTW: For anyone interested in the workarounds I use currently – particularly for several TWiki Macros, like attachments and highlighted code – see my sed overkill here:
