Good morning -  
I seem to be struggling with case sensitivity. Example “One” is different than “one” in URL and in tags. Is there something that I"m doing incorrectly or is there a way to do a bulk lowercase for specific things like URLs/Links/Tags?

I guess is there a design reason why you wouldn’t want to ignore case?

Is there any way of removing case sensitivity, so links to any cased alternatives to “real” documents work?

One way to deal with case sensitivity is by establishing a naming convention for yourself. I tend to use only lower case for all tags while document titles start with an Upper case letter.

Case on mobiles is hard.

Jut my two cents on this topic (since I asked the question 🙂 ). It would be a good add to ignore case where possible to enable more dynamic linking without fear of breaking something up stream.

My use case is the typical wiki-esc / second brain so if I break links I’m going to be hurting.

By the way fantastic tool. I’m a Yunohost user and came across it from there.

It should be allowed to hook in certain places with custom Lua functions to let users to do any transformations/normalizations they like to (for tags, URLs, filenames). This is somewhat related to [this](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/spaces-vs-not-spaces-in-page-names/2167/4) I think. I distinguish between different cases in my tags.
