Yeah, I was being a bit obtuse. In the work-around cookbook entry I
use
<!--function:TmplSpaceWikiWord [wikiword]-->
to place spaced WikiWords into the template, where "[wikiword]" would
usually be a variable like $Group or $PageTitle. The advantage is that
it may be more flexible (i.e. you can place any variable in the
template that may have a WikiWord format), and the disadvantages are
that it is more verbose (could make the function name shorter :-), and
maintaining the "TmplSpaceWikiWord" function may cause some maintenance
issues if maintained separately from the WikiWord format definition and
parsing functions.
I hope this is clearer. Sorry for the confusion.
Larry
