Or, for an effect as shown at
http://www.affinity.co.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/XMLWP/HomePage

note the HomePage in the side bar has a dotted border controlled by css

(as an extra, the links gain tool tips)

The way this works is to look for self-referencing links, ie a page name
that refers to the current page. The script then substitutes a different
$WikiPageExistsFmt, so it always 'just works' everywhere.

If that's what you are after, download the WikiPresentations module
and use just the maori.php and smartquotes.php scripts from
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiPresentations

Or you can extract the bit of code that checks for self-referencing
links and use that.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, let me know.
