It's not one I know about in Moin - sounds sensible - I've had to get
into Moin development/patching anyway so I'll see.

Moin uses so-called "CamelCase" to identify links without using any
other syntax. It can be distracting but it's the way wiki's are. Moin
does have the option to insert spaces (see UserPreferences - oops, User
Preferences) on output but you must type links without spaces when
editing. I can't do anything about that.
It took me a while - I'd suggest persevering - I did.

Mmm - suggestions?
(FWIW I don't like PvR350 - and I came up with it !!)
I think some of them are just little midgy-like annoyances that we can
probably live with :)
BTW someone didn't like ArchiveToDvd
<http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/ArchiveToDvd?action=highlight&value=DeleteMe>
so they fixed it earlier tonight :)
