Hi! I just want to start of by saying, thank you for this really neat Jekyll plugin! You've accomplished a lot of really impressive things. I'm an Obsidian user who uses Jekyll to publish selected notes to a blog. This jekyll-wikilinks plugin makes writing out notes and working everything in Obsidian very seamlessly integrated with publishing through Jekyll. I can use wikilinks for everything, so easily at that!
There is only one huge roadblock I've been trying forever to work around. It seems like all regular (unlabeled, i.e. without aliases) wikilinks will have their titles downcased. This looks intentional by your README and issue thread #12.
See, all my notes are Capital Cased, for example, "The Greatest Showman Series and Analysis" is the title of one of my notes/pages. I would link it by writing in markdown,
[[The Greatest Showman Series and Analysis]]
. I would like it to preserve casing in the resulting HTML, exactly like the original note title.However, the resulting anchor inner text is downcased as "the greatest showman series and analysis", which looks ugly in prose.
Unsure where to start? View major projects or perhaps begin with the greatest showman series and analysis!
v.s.

I know I can just type out the note/page title again as a label/alias with a pipe, but the whole point of this plugin is to make writing easier and faster.
I think the
.downcase
method doesn't make sense, because rendered anchors to note/page titles should look *consistent with the wikilink bracket in markdown. I'd just like to know the rationale for doing it this way? Either ways, I want to have a solution to this problem, since it is bugging me so much that I don't want to officially tell people about my site until this matter is resolved.In a related vein, it's not that I want pure Capital Casing every time: I don't want "The Greatest Showman Series And Analysis". The "And" looks better lowercased. It should be easy enough to just preserve the original note title, by removing that
.downcase
method.Thank you again for developing this plugin! This is my first discussion post, because this has been a really useful tool to me. I hope to hear your reply!
