datetime format strings can contain literal text as well as special formatting codes like "0MM" and "0hh". For example, the "/" and ":" within the date and time are actually simple literal characters, that are simply output without any special processing or substitution. This means that it is simple to autogenerate titles with literal prefix, like this: <<newJournal "Staff Meeting 0MM/0DD/YYYY">> You could even omit the date formatting, and just create a "journal" with a fixed literal title: <<newJournal "Notes from Staff Meetings">> which allows you to always append your meeting notes to the same tiddler, without regard to the date of the meeting. Also note that, at least in TWC, the <<newJournal>> macro accepts all the same parameters as the <<newTiddler>> macro, allowing you to specify the "new journal" button text label as well as custom tags and field values, etc. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
