Tobias,

This looks very nice.  Any plans to keep working on this?

@Peter - I'd say TW is perfect for this and it really should not be 
particularly difficult. 

Not only that, I also think it is one of those classic examples that would 
be a really good showcase for TW if it was nicely implemented.

If you intend to include a lot of images, you should investigate which is 
the best alternative for this. (I'm unsure myself.)

You might want to check out the Fast New Tiddler concept (do a search. 
Initially called the Stealth method or something like that). It includes a 
way to put directly editable fields in a tiddlers viewmode.

Of possible interest for you are "typed tags". AFAIK there is still no 
conclusive solution to this but I know there have been experiments made 
(by, I believe, @Jed and @Tobias).

I'd experiment by making a copy of the current text field (and make sure it 
is tagged just like the standard one to include it in the viewtemplate and 
edittemplate. Basically it is just adding a field but I interpret your wish 
as that you want the content to be visible in viewmode.

Or you could just make a child tiddler to the original one and simply have 
the original tiddler display the contents of all child tiddlers (that are 
perhaps tagged in some specific way). This should be very simple.

BTW, you should use some kind of template for the recipes.

Sure. You'll just have to study the filter syntax a bit.

Recipes is probably as close to a stereotype as you can get for "these 
kinds of systems"´.

Hi Peter,

Doesn't have all your bells and whistles (yet),
but perhaps a good starting point...

Yes, that is possible and most of it shouldn't require anything too 
complex. The biggest challenge for something like that in tiddlywiki is 
creating a useful interface and organization. The multiple operator search 
is a bit more complex than the rest, but if you create the rest of it the 
way you describe it can be added in afterward. The implementation would 
depend on how everything else is done so if you get to that point and need 
help ask then. 

I have the start of a similar tool here 
,
 
so feel free to borrow/steal/modify/ignore it or pieces of it if you want. 
I am not sure if I am going to have time to finish it any time in the 
foreseeable future so I hope you can put something nice together than I can 
use. :D
