If you want to prevent TopicNames from being linked and other kinds of formatting rules from being applied, you can use the double-quote escape: surround the text with a pair of double-quotes on each side and you'll prevent the formatter from treating the contained text specially (e.g. creating links from WikiWords).

This works for most run-level formatting (e.g., bold, italic, URL linking, etc.).

Example:

 ""NormallyThisWouldBeLinked"" and ""'''this would be bold'''"".

Will produce:

NormallyT_hisWouldBeLinked and '''this would be bold'''

Note

Bug - escaping Emoticons doesn't work... EG. a capital M character enclosed by round brackets is shown as instead of (M) and escaping it simply encloses it in quotes rather than prevent emoticonification --> ""
