I have pretty much always used double brackets, but it is interesting to hear about the possible advantages of WikiWords.
I tend to think of tiddler titles as a kind of compression of the information in a tiddler - a way to chunk the information into a single unit so that it can be easily combined with other concepts in my head. I should be able to look at the tiddler title and immediately have a sense of the idea that it refers to. Maybe WikiWords will actually assist in this regard? As @soren points out, they can force you to be concise in naming things. And maybe squishing everything into one "word" would encourage you to think of the tiddler as more of a single unit, in line with the zettelkasten approach. I think I will try switching to WikiWords for a bit and see if I notice any advantages. On Saturday, 21 November 2020 at 13:38:46 UTC David Gifford wrote: > Double brackets all the way.
