TWC Journals -------------------- Auto-generating a journal tiddler's title from the current date can help in two ways: 1) it creates a quicker workflow, since there is no need to hand-enter a title. Simply press "new journal" and start typing your tiddler content. 2) it helps ensure that journal tiddler titles are unique (up to a point). The default is day-at-a-time journalling (i.e., using 0MM/0DD/YYYY as the title format). Invoking <<newJournal>> within the same day allows you to append additional content to the same journal tiddler. Much finer down-to-the-minute (or even second) journalling is also possible, creating separate journal tiddlers for each entry, by specifying a combined date *and* time format in the macro. For example: <<newJournal "0MM/0DD/YYYY 0hh:0mm:0ss">> can be used to record a log of events over time, such as support calls, where each journal tiddler contains the notes from a single event. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
