TiddlyWiki5 supports full use of HTML syntax (except for embedded 
... and onXXX="..." event handlers), so you should be able 
to just copy/paste the HTML *source* into a tiddler, and then edit that 
tiddler's content to remove any unneeded syntax (like the ... 
section).

PDFs are even easier... just drap-and-drop the PDF file onto your 
TiddlyWiki, and it will be inserted as a text-encoded-binary tiddler that 
can then be viewed either as a stand alone tiddler, or embedded in other 
tiddler content using {{NameOfPDFTiddler}}.

Hi Tierney,

Just to be sure. 

Have you seen the license of the book: 
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ in the very first 
paragraph?

I hope you know what

means. 

So you are good to go if you cite _little_ parts of the book in your wiki, 
if you want to expose it on the web. aka. Fair Use .. otherwise I'd take 
care. 

have fun!
mario

Eric,

in other words, dragging a pdf into TW inserts the text of the pdf into the
tiddler as plain text?

Nope.  It inserts the PDF as a binary file, stored using base64-text 
encoding.  When you view the PDF tiddler directly (or embed it via 
transclusion), it renders the PDF inline within your browser... but it's 
still a binary.  It's not plain text.

Also, I have found that if the PDF is large enough or complex enough, your 
TiddlyWiki document will crash and burn. Small simple PDFs embed quite 
nicely.

A work-around that is a safer bet is to make a tiddler that is an external 
link to the document. It can be a relative file:// type link so you can 
keep everything in one directory tree. Then you can do all the 
transcluding/tagging/etc. that you can do if it was embedded without the 
crashiness.

I Frankensteined together a little helper tiddler from tips and tricks from 
people here to make these external links that I include as a tool in each 
document I create ... cut and paste the following into a tiddler and start 
linking.

/Mike



\define theTiddler() $(the_tiddler)$!!title


\define myconcat() $(t1)$$(t2)$


|!Filename |<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/ExternalLink" 
placeholder="filename" tag="input" type="text"/> |
|!Directory |<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/ExternalLink" field="directory"

Re: [tw] Re: Importing HTML or PDF to TiddlyWiki 5

[Ed]

Hi Eric,

What do you think of the PDF Macro solution of Tobias Beer, Method 2 [1], 
so not making the PDF into a binary, but showing an external PDF with 
<> in a tiddler?

If you include many PDF's that way the file remains lighter isn't it?

BTW, haven't "seen" Tobias around here for quite some time, or so it seems 
to me.
Hi Tobias, were are you? 8-)))
Salut! Ed.

Re: [tw] Re: Importing HTML or PDF to TiddlyWiki 5

[Patrick Detzner]

Is there a way to import a large, multiple page PDF into tw and have it create 
a tiddler for each page? The goal is to store the book page by page in tw with 
one tiddler to display or link to each page.
