Re: [tw5] How do I store fields inside *.md files? As if it were a .tid file, without separating fields to the .meta file
We actually have a similar situation with .js files. As you know, they can
contain front matter like this:
/*\
title: $:/core/modules/commands/build.js
type: application/javascript
module-type: command
Command to build a build target
\*/
(function(){
But one can also include a .meta file. Any fields specified there are processed
before the front matter fields, so the values there take precedence.
We should therefore be able to follow the same approach with .md files
Best wishes

There is still the problem with the default nodejs behaviour, that it splits type: text/markdown files into 2 elements. We would need to change that back to write a single .md file with the "front-matter" stuff at the top. So we will need to support 2 versions. The problem is that it seems they didn't change the file extension. So we do have no real indicator if a file contains front-matter content or not. ... -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

[tw5] How do I store fields inside *.md files? As if it were a .tid file, without separating fields to the .meta file
Hello! I am setting up my workflow using TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 on Node.js. I would like to store and edit all of my tiddlers within the *.md files with all their fields. How can I switch off the generating of the separate *.meta files for MD format and store the filds the same way as they are stored in .tid files ? My own research is about to fail :^) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
