Re: [tw] LaunchApplication on Mac
Hi Thomas, Tried your suggestion, but no luck. Tried many variations. According to wikipedia: A file URL takes the form of file://host/path where host is the fully qualified domain name of the system on which the path is accessible, and path is a hierarchical directory path of the form directory/directory/.../name. If host is omitted, it is taken to be localhost, the machine from which the URL is being interpreted. Note that when omitting host you do not omit the slash (file:///foo.txt is okay, while file://foo.txt is not, although some interpreters manage to handle the latter). So file://localhost/Macintosh HD/Applications/Address Book.app is the same as file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/Address Book.app. Watch the third slash. Nothing works for me.

[tw] LoadTiddlers Display
I have been trying to figure out how to use the loadTiddlers macro to load a single tiddler and then immediately display that tiddler. The goal is to have a standard tiddler macro like command tiddlerName that would display the tiddlerName in a standard wikified tiddler name manner and then when it is clicked to use LoadTiddlers to reach out to another html local file and retrieve the tiddler named tiddlerName and immediately display it, as if it had been a tiddler in the original file.

The display is perfect until one tries to edit something. After editing, is when the lines disappear. So it must have to do with the post editing rendering.

Re: [tw] Re: quotes: curly and not; spaces: double or single. Typography for Lawyers
Blame it all on the typewriter. Before the typewriter, all printed text came through a print house, with trained people. The typewriter introduced the printed page to the average business person. But it had its faults, which were mainly due to the limited number of keys that humans could reach with 10 digits, within the simplified mechanics of the day. One of the major problems was that the beautiful proportional font mechanism of professionally printed material could not be accommodated with the typewriter. So a period (.) took up the same amount of space as an em (M). All characters were the same size -- monospaced. The automatic clumping of letters into words did not exist. So one of the ways it was made easier to read, was to introduce some new conventions, which still pervade in the business world. One of them was to put two spaces at the end of a sentence. Another was to put an extra line at the end of a paragraph, to split paragraphs. This latter was combined with the no indent convention for a paragraph. Maybe that came about because setting the tab on a typewriter was a complex task for the typist, and they could not count 5 spaces accurately every time they started a new paragraph. The use of underlines to indicate titles was necessitated because italics were not possible on a typewriter, and English has, of yet, not developed a delimiting character set for titles. We do have quotes for chapter and article titles. But then, we use, on a typewriter, the same characters to indicate actual speech. It gets really difficult to indicate quotes within a chapter title. One solution is to use both single and double quotes. The single quote character used at both ends of the delimited text came about because it required only one key, not two, on the keyboard. That was the death knell for the curly quotes, until the computer screen came along. To make it even more awkward, with the introduction of computerized printouts, two characters became common at the end of a line. (It has nothing to do with a paragraph.) This came about because the ASCII character 13 meant end of line. The printer would then automatically slide the print head to the beginning of the line. The computer would then direct the printer to move the print head forward an appropriate amount and stick in underlines, diacriticals, and the like. Then the ASCII character 10 would be sent directing the printer to roll up the paper to the next line. A typist had to do the same sort of thing. They tended to use the backspace to move backwards to add the underlines and diacriticals. Then they pulled that magic handle with their right hand which automatically slide the paper up a line and the page to the right edge. Note that printers move the print head, typists move the paper. But, new inventions came along, including electric typewriters that moved the print head. To this day, the use of ASCII character 13 has not yet been standardized. Apple Computers use it to indicate the end of a paragraph, whereas Microsoft computers use it together with character 10 to indicate the end of a paragraph. But many eMail programs insert one or the other automatically at the end of a line, assuming line lengths of 60, 80, 120 or whatever. To put it succinctly: Copy and Paste between programs and/or operating systems with simple text is not simple! There are no universally accepted conventions. Nor are there likely to be within the foreseeable future. And the English language has a lot more than 26 characters, in spite of what your teachers may have told you. Doug On 2010-04-25, at 2:20 PM, Alex Hough wrote: Hi Craig, Hold the horses before detailing the requests! I think the solution to this problem lies with convincing the user group that single spaces between sentences is *the* way to go instead of accommodating their request. It is a fact that any professional document – a newspaper, a book – does have only one space after a sentence. Thanks to Typography for Lawyers [1] for pointing this out to me. TW automatically changes double spaces to single, and this has caused a glitch in our proofing system. Curly quotes are new to me. They are different to straight quotes. To illustrate compare the two quotes: This is the one, sang the Stone Roses “This is the one”, sang the Stone Roses The latter uses curly quotes. “I don't like those ‘tadpole quotes’ you are using”, said the proof reader But I am not using 'em, I said. The truth was that both proof reader and I were (kind of) right. I think Word was converting cut and pasted TiddlyText containing my straight quotes into curly quotes because Word thought the that was the thing that the proof reader wanted. It was not. However, looking into the issue, I have found out about the curly quote, and I have become a fan. I'm seeing them everywhere now. “Curly quotes are cool!”, said Dan from Galooph this morning “But how do you
