For me the main need in HTML formatting is the ability to insert
internal links to other tiddlers, and secondly the ability to use some
very selected macros that don't mess up the validity of HTML.
So I modified the original plugin in order to wikify only the elements
I need to be wikified (those marked with class=wikify).
Since I use this modified version in a TiddlyWiki that I'm going to
publish, I'm asking if you wish to update your plugin or how to proceed
if my changes are not so good for you.
Currently, you can use a tag of nowiki within an HTML block to
completely disable parsing of TW-formatted content. However, this is
accomplished in a very simple way: if the plugin detects the text
nowiki *anywhere* in the HTML content, it just bypasses the extra
'wikify' handling, so that only the browser's native HTML processing
is applied.
What you need for your use-case a bit more 'finely-grained' control,
to selectively enable/disable wikification within portions of the
HTML-syntax block.
Rather than introduce a new special-meaning CSS classname, I'm
inclined to extend the current usage of nowiki, so that it can be
paired with /nowiki. Thus, you would be able to write something
like:
html
nowikithis content is just HTML syntax/nowiki
this line has a TiddlerName that is wikified (and thus, linked)
nowikiand this is more HTML syntax/nowiki
/html
of course, this is somewhat awkward syntax, so I'm also considering
support for wiki.../wiki syntax as well, which would let you
write the above more simply, as:
html
nowiki
this content is just HTML syntax
this has a wikiTiddlerName/wiki that is wikified (and thus,
linked)
and this is more HTML syntax
/nowiki
/html
With regard to publishing your modified plugin: you are free to do
so... however, you should read these two tiddlers first:
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#LegalStatements
http://www.tiddlytools.com/faq.html#FAQ_ModifyingTiddlyToolsPlugins
Basically, you need to *rename* the plugin tiddler so it is clearly
differentiated from the official TiddlyTools-distributed version.
You should also comment each line of code (or or at least each section
of code) that you have added and/or modified, so that the differences
between your altered version and the original TiddlyTools version can
be quickly identified.
In any case, if you find that my alternative suggested usage as
described above would be acceptable for your purposes, and you can
wait a bit for me to write, test and publish some new code, then I
would be glad to add that functionality to the standard
HTMLFormattingPlugin.
enjoy,
