FS#2204 Capitals in plugin's directory name

Plugins

  Plugins that make use of capital letters in their directory names are not recognazed.
  
  For example: PlantUML plugin.
  
  This affects to older versions of dokuwiki too.
  
  Sorry but I don't know the solution yet.

  In the case of PlantUML, the plugin.info.txt file contents were:
   base    PlantUML
   author  Nicolas FAUVET
   email   nfauvet@free.fr
   date    2011-01-31
   name    PlantUML plugin
   desc    Draws UML graphs directly into the wiki using PlantUML http://plantuml.sourceforge.net
   url     http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:plantumlsecure:/var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plug
  
  DokuWiki installs the plugin in PlantUML and loads some parts of the plugin. Nevertheless, the plugin does not draw UML diagrams.
  
  
  A way to solve it in my installation was to modify the base name of the plugin not to hold any capital:
   base    plantuml
   author  Nicolas FAUVET
   email   nfauvet@free.fr
   date    2011-01-31
   name    PlantUML plugin
   desc    Draws UML graphs directly into the wiki using PlantUML http://plantuml.sourceforge.net
   url     http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:plantumlsecure:/var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plug

  For what do you need case-insensitivity in the plugin directory names?

  Case-insensitivity in the plugin directory names is not needed.
  It seems that dokuwiki does not correctly handle plugins if the name of the plugin contains capital letters and if the plugin makes use of plugin.info.txt file to state its name.

  I guess it's this line in your syntax.php:
  
  $this->Lexer->addSpecialPattern('<uml.*?>\n.*?\n</uml>', $mode, 'plugin_PlantUML');
  
  If you would like to specify capitals in your plugin name, it must be same notation with the third param in addSpecialPattern().
  
  Btw.: https://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:plugins#plugin_name -> "A valid plugin name should only contain the characters a-z and 0-9"
  
  There's not need to use capital letters, no normal user will see the plugin name.

  You are true! Really, it is a bug in the plugin. There are other plugins that make use of capitals as well (e.g. iCalEvents). I will contact with authors to propose the change of the names...
  I will close the task.
  Thank you!

  The bug does not correspond to dokuwiki.
