You are right Jed. It was premature to state that. > While tiddlywiki can be used as a database it isn't a database.

Tiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Structuring%20TiddlyWiki> - only field that is required is the title field 2. TiddlerLinks <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Linking%20in%20WikiText> - link to a tiddler by title [[Tiddler Title]] 3. Tagging <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Tagging> - "A tag is in fact just a tiddler (or a potential tiddler), and it can have tags of its own. You can add any number of tags to the same tiddler." - If tag is internally a tiddler then 1. applies 4. Title Lists <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Title%20List> - "A title list is a line of text that presents one or more tiddler titles" - is based on tiddler titles 5. DataTiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#DataTiddlers> - named properties are accessed by referencing the data tiddler title again I didn't examine any important functions (like searching etc) but so far it is obvious that the tiddler title should not be modified not just because of the links, but because of other building blocks as well. It is true at the same time that there are special cases when it is desirable to change or set the tiddler title (as Josiah stated above). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
