Option to make all topic IDs lowercase
I like to be consistent, so it would be good if there was an option to make Topic IDs all be lowercase (in addition to the current "Auto-correct blanks in topic IDs" option)

Re: Option to make all topic IDs lowercase
Hi Itex,
I can understand the need for this. I've added this for consideration as an option for new topic IDs. We won't be adding a global change option for this to Help & Manual itself because global ID manipulation is considered too dangerous in the normal UI. However, I've made a note to add this to HM Toolbox when I can find the time. It could be a nice weekend project: In addition to downcasing globally I'd also like to add an option to upcase and for global search and replace in topic IDs.
