I'd expect both libraries to work in browser and Node.js; there's no fundamental reason why not.

There's also this batch script that is used to actually build the library: https://github.com/Jermolene/build.jermolene.github.io/blob/master/make-library-bld.sh > I'm guessing the plugin library only permits importing of > tiddlers/plugins, right? > It's for listing and importing tiddlers; those tiddlers happen to be plugins, but they aren't required to be. > ...And node-js individual tiddlers, at that, right? > The plugin library can actually return more than one tiddler if it wants (eg to handle dependencies) > ...And is there some way to insert any url to such a tiddler and have it > imported on command? > No, that's the point that we keep coming back to: there's no general way for an HTML file running on a file:// URI to retrieve data from the web. > Thanks for your patience Jeremy.
