2018-03-10 Thread Joe Armstrong
Just thinking out loud here .. Tiddlers contain far more than markup. There's wiki text with an embedded programming language and an implicit environment (the DOM) to consider. Some tiddlers are pure JS - which would make it difficult to port to a non-JS system - some tiddlers with simple markup

TW seems to have three types of code: JS functions, TW macros, and TW widgets. It's not clear to me how these are evaluated, nor what the order of evaluation is. 1) macros - what are they? How do they differ from regular JS functions - how are they evaluated? what do they return? Is the r

A couple of questions: 1) Is there a "definitive" TW (definitive in the sense that it serves as some kind of master reference copy for documentation of how TW works -- I'm assuming this is at https://tiddlywiki.com/ 2) Every wikipedia has a Talk page - for discussions about a page. This seems

I want to make a triage system in TW5 - tasks are tagged 'now' 'later' and 'done' My simple minded approach is as follows: 1. A tiddler can be tagged 'now' 'later' or 'done' 2. if a tiddler has the tag 'now' its background should be red and it should have two buttons 'Move to Later'

One thing I love about the TW is you don't lose context when you click on a link. In regular HTML when you click on a link the current page is *replaced* by a new page. So it's easy to forget where you can from and you can't see it on the screen. In the TW the new tiddler is opened below the cu
