Thank TT for pointing us TWC fans over to this thread. Like many have said, TWC still works. Why fix whats broken? I've been using TWC for almost 10 years by now. Sure there have been some hiccups along the way, but once you setup a saving system that works for you, it's almost frictionless.
Like Eric mentioned, there are still some design aspects of TWC not yet implemented in TW5. Also I would say it can be a bit more challenging to find the right way to modify the CSS to suit your desires in TW5. For example the other day I spent a lot of time messing around with the PageTemplate in order to center both the story river and the side bar with equal amounts of space on either side. I ended up creating two new CSS classes as it wasn't possible to re-arrange with the existing CSS classes. At best (TWC and TW5) are different approaches to achieving similar results. The advances in wikitext and support for fields are do interest me in TW5. But the most powerful aspect of TWC is the fact it still works and I have no doubt it will continue to work for another 10 years and beyond. The fact the community continues to sustain itself is even more promising when not all software can manage to achieve such a luxury. - Mark On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 3:54:01 AM UTC-7, Mat wrote: > > Disregarding the irony of the very title: > > In another thread someone requested more attention to TiddlyWiki > Classic/TWC/TW2, i.e the predecessor to TW5.
