Depends what you mean... I have a set of tiddlers that don't use the regular ViewTemplate and it's these tiddlers which should receive the pushes - the normal/standard tiddlers don't require them. Hence... I removed the ViewTemplate tag removed the "cherry-area" div tagged the plugin as macro and renamed it (Aside: I also renamed the macros to have "attention-" prepended) Now I can push from anywhere into those "special" tiddlers that need it - works great. And of course, if I decide later I actually *do* want them everywhere, I can re-add the ViewTemplate tag. > > I'd also like to hide the source-push-@ call somehow... >> > > Yes, this is definitely part of a much extended version I have in mind > where one should be able to assign arbitrary start and end markers that > control what happens to the encompassed segment.

But back to @ttention... I'm developing an authoring tool for TW5 (I guess it would be better as an "edition" but I'm not ready yet). The tools are designed to aid an author writing a book. Book chapters have titles like "1-010" (chapter 1, section 010) "3-060" (chapter 3, section 060). The name of a chapter-section -- "Jack meets Jill" -- is stored in a subtitle field. (These are the tiddlers that are typically *not* viewed via the standard ViewTemplate). In addition, I use specialized tiddlers for things like "plot", "character", "keystages", "location", "problems" etc. So I have "1-010-plot", "1-010-location", "1-010-problems" etc. I already have the ability to add annotations/notes etc "inline" in chapter tiddlers -- all of which can be controlled (made visible/invisible) globally and individually. What I've been missing is the ability to *push*... that's why I jumped on @ttention. For example, if I'm working on plot and I'm editing "1-020-plot" and I decide "Jack" has red hair instead of dark brown, I can push the note to 1-010, indeed, *any/all* previous chapters-sections. This is *extremely* useful and so *direct* it saves a bunch of searching/opening/editing/saving/closing. So, yeah, thanks again! I don't know if my use-case makes sense to you... or if it touches on any of the future ideas you mentioned above (confession: I didn't quite follow where you were going).
