Eric, thanks for the thorough and detailed response - you've provided several useable solutions for me, and I'm going to do some experimenting to see what works best for my needs. (Somehow I missed chkSaveEmptyTemplate in Advanced Options.) I've been to your site, and all I can say is WOW, what an incredible resource!

If you import Eric's StyleSheetShortcuts tiddler and add a link into
your shadowed StyleSheet tiddler, ie:
[[StylesheetShortcuts]]
you can add individual definitions into the MainMenu:
{{big{Articles}}}

Hi frikfrak, No experience with SaveEmptyTemplate but I use the ExportTiddlerPlugin were you can create a new TW based on tiddlers with certain tags, or manual selection etc. ExportTiddlersPlugin can be found here: http://www.tiddlytools.com/ Goodluck Okido On 21 Dec, 21:17, frikfrak wrote: > Hi, > > I recently discovered TW, and am still a noob, so please be gentle. > How do I use SaveEmptyTemplate?

When you say you "made some mods and added some content", I assume you mean you changed some of the default "shadow tiddler" definitions (like SiteTitle, SiteSubtitle, MainMenu, StyleSheet, etc.), and then created a few new tiddlers for your own content, and that what you want to do is to create a new document that includes the tiddlers that hold the modified definitions, but not the ones that hold your content. However, the chkSaveEmptyTemplate setting (see AdvancedOptions) causes TW to create a completely empty TW document (called empty.html) that contains *no tiddlers at all*, and thus it probably isn't what you are looking for. Of course, you can always simply copy the entire TW file (using your OS), and then open the copy, strip out the content and save it. Then keep that file around as a 'starter' that you can copy at any time to create a new document. Alternatively, if you want a flexible, TiddlyWiki-based solution, try this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPlugin It allows you to create a new document from the current one, and can use tags to auto-select a subset of tiddlers (e.g., only tiddlers tagged with 'includeNew' or some other distinct tag). Also, if automatic tag matching is not sufficient, you can use this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ExportTiddlersPlugin which provides a completely interactive "control panel" with a multi- select listbox so you can manually choose the tiddlers you want to write to the new file. Note: you can also use ExportTiddlers to write a "PureStore" file that selected tiddlers, but omits all the TW core programming. PureStore files can be used as archives for saving old tiddlers, or as small 'transport files' for sharing a few tiddlers with others (e.g, sent as email attachments). Although PureStore files are not immediately viewable as a TW document, they can be directly imported into a running TW document because they contain a 100% TW-compatible 'tiddler store area'. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

To avoid this error, the "CoreVersion" slice value in the plugin should be set to "2.4.2" instead of just "2.4"... this will block the plugin from being loaded in any version prior to 2.4.2 See: http://www.TiddlyWiki.com/beta http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/735 http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/changeset/6903 enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

Are you talking about *brower* plugins (e.g., TiddlySnip, GreaseMonkey, etc)? Browser plugins are, of course, dependent upon the specific browser being used, and can definitely break when that browser is updated to a new version. However, inasmuch as TW plugins are just tiddlers containing javascript, they should continue work within the document in which they are installed (assuming they worked in the first place), as long as the brower continues to support javascript. > Also, the cookies > thing has been overcome for the moment, but who knows what similar > hiccups will come along. Cookies are used to store TW *settings*. While a loss of settings would revert to the defaults, a change cookie-based in settings would not actually prevent you from accessing the document content (though it might not look the same), and you can always redefine those settings, either with new cookies, or by assigning hard-coded values via a systemConfig tiddler. -e --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

A TW file is plain-text: all your content, plus HTML, CSS, and
Javascript syntax surrounding it.
Fundamentally, each TW document is a complete system... all the
programming and content is incorporated into the same file; thus,
there is no separation of data and application and a matching version
of the 'TW runtime environment' will always be available.
Of course, this is all predicated on having a browser that is capable
of processing HTML, CSS, and Javascript... which is likely to be true
for *many, many* years. Even so, as we well know, future versions of
any given browser *might* not be completely 100% backward-compatible
with existing HTML, CSS or Javascript code, but even then, the odds of
being able to render your content (even if it doesn't look quite
right) are still extremely high.
Lastly, even if there are no such things as web browsers in the
future, the underlying data in every TW file is, as noted above, plain-
text (with a few HTML entities, e.g., " mixed in)... and it's
completely open-source... no binary encodings, no secret formats.
Thus, it will *always* be possible to read a TW file with a simple
text editor or a parse it with a small, custom-written text processing
program that can extract just the content, leaving the HTML, CSS and
Javascript behind.

I doubt that there is file format that is likely to survive longer
than simple plain-text...

[tw] How long will a tiddliwiki last?
Hi, I am wondering how long a tiddliwiki is likely to last. That is, if I start to use a wiki now to collate information on a topic, and I intend to use the wiki for many years to come, at some point I am going to find that technology has passed me by and my wiki doesn't work any more. I realise that HTML and Javascript are not going away any time soon. But, well, I have a long time-frame in mind, so I would be interested to know how durable a tiddliwiki can be expected to be. Any thoughts? On the same topic, are there simple ways to transfer content to other forms that might serve as an archive of the information, and survive technology changes longer, even though the flexibility of the wiki might be lost?
