Strange regex for Internal link alias transformation

[UserBoi1]

Hi there,

I am trying to understand the alias transformation feature. I want to use it to give me uncapitalised aliases. All my note names start with capitals (like Wikipedia pages), but this means whenever I use autocomplete, it gives me the capitalised name, when I want it in plain lowercase in the text.

I have read a fair amount online and I have found lots of resources. But none of them look at all like this regex. There's named variables with angle brackets, which I can't find anything about online, some kind of (?regex) grouping potentially (all I know is things don't seem to work without it), and it doesn't recognise \l as a reserved regex thing, despite the fact everyone online suggests using it for lowercase.

Does anyone know what kind of regex this is and how I might achieve my goal of lowercase aliases?

Hi, @UserBoi1 :)

I have no idea as far, but I'll survey the solution to solve your problems 👍

@UserBoi1
I have investigated it, but I found that JavaScript/TypeScript doesn't support \l or \L.

All my note names start with capitals (like Wikipedia pages), but this means whenever I use autocomplete, it gives me the capitalised name, when I want it in plain lowercase in the text.

I think your suggestion is used for general purposes. So if you want the feature, please create a new issue (FR) with a few examples.

Kind regards.
