http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#RelatedTiddlersPlugin peforms a recursive, depth-first traversal of tiddler links and generates a tree-view display of the result. Take a look at the plugin-defined function: config.macros.relatedTiddlers.getList(start,exclude,callback) where: 'start' is the title of the root tiddler for the traversal 'exclude' is an array of titles to skip (i.e. don't follow links FROM those tiddlers) 'callback' is an alternative function for getting a custom list of the links from a tiddler For your purposes, you won't need to use a custom callback, since you are interested in the normal tiddler links from each tiddler, which is already provided by the plugin as a default callback handler. Once you have retrieved the resulting list of related tiddlers, you can write some relatively simple script that outputs the desired format (e.g. embedding the content of each tiddler in the list). Something like this: <script> var start=story.findContainingTiddler(place).getAttribute('tiddler'); var list=config.macros.relatedTiddlers.getList(start); var out=''; for (var i=0; i<list.length; i++) out+='<<tiddler [['+list[i]+']]>>\n'; return out; </script> Note: to embed javascript code within tiddler content, you need to install: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InlineJavascriptPlugin enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
