Hi, been meaning to comment, first time, since shortly after the moratorium but couldn't quite decide where. Stephen's post seems most appropriate. I'm a returning user, some years ago I tried TiddlyWiki Classic to store my notes for a book I was trying to write. I stuck with it for awhile but Real Life intervened. I finally returned some months ago to find TiddlyWiki5 beta. I tried to get started again but hit basically the same problems, with a few new twists, as when I first encountered TWC.
1. I've been around long enough that I knew about the need for TiddlyFox. 2. As mentioned in the discussion, I went round and round trying to figure out what happened to empty.htm. Finally gave up and just put in a name and found the TiddlyWiki would open. 3. I work off-line, so I look at an empty TiddlyWiki and I can't remember the markup used. It has been a long time since TWC and there are changes. Started using HTML in the tiddlers rather than trying to figure it out. That I think is one big assumption made these days, "Everyone is online." Maybe they are but I frequently run out on my data plan so I only go on when necessary. Besides helps save the batteries on the laptop. 4. Before the moratorium I decided I should try to use more markup. And I wanted a reference in the TiddlyWiki I was working on. So I started importing the tiddlers to make my own reference (help) section, just like I finally did on TWC. Nothing really in order. But I still tend to use HTML so can copy into a web page. 5.I also tried various things like the Left Menu but frequently couldn't get to work or didn't seem to work like the original. Did get frustrated and basically quit to wait for TiddlyWiki to come out of beta. 6. I was excited when the TableOfContents was added but had trouble trying to get working. Thanks to Tobias for pointing out http://toc-tutorial.tiddlyspot.com/, now I have a TOC. Sometimes wish it was in a Left Menu but I have a TOC. Also, Tobias, thanks for pointing to http://tb5.tiddlyspot.com/#Markup%20Reference. The current thread reminded me of what I have been doing with my basic TiddlyWiki master that I copy. Can't remember all the imports or small changes I made so went back and made a new one. Probably imported more just to cover links from the top level that fill out details. Made a few additions based on the recent discussions. Probably not complete, but a start on what I think a basic TiddlyWiki would be. I've put it on Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hjdhlbvya1yyppf/ec4FNmB1.htm?dl=0/ec4FNmB1.htm I'm still excited about TiddlyWiki but have to agree the intial experience leaves something to be desired. Thanks to Jeremy and all for the work they've done on an open source project. Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
