Currently, to deal with a article name containing spaces, it seems
one must replace spaces with underscores; not
$nano "Fujiwara no Teika"
or
$nano Fujiwara\ no\ Teika
but
$nano Fujiwara_no_Teika
This is, from my perspective, not ideal. If I wish to open up a
file from Emacs or some other capable text editor, which bypasses
shell issues with spaces, I still have to remember to make all
spaces underscores (this would also get in the way of shell
scripts, I think).
So I'd like it if wikipediafs supported the first 2 examples and
not just the 3rd.
Even if upstream rejects this request, I think the man page
doesn't make this clear. I noticed one sentence which *might*
reference this behaviour ("This is why most of the time you will
need a terminal to run the "your_favourite_editor file_name"
command."), but it is by no means clear - a simple addition to
note that to open articles with spaces in the title requires one
to manually substitute _ for " "s.
