JD,
I have also being working on a sophisticated "tiddler Viewer" like
TWOutlier
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!msg/tiddlywiki/ol_3zvGPbk8/EdIG3awlBAAJ;context-place=forum/tiddlywiki
but with advanced handling of tiddlers in a TOC structure, this may be a
good way to present tiddlers that the key use is to edit their text
content. Add an Edit Text field to their ViewMode and they would never need
to edit the test. However remember there is value in the draft.of process
on the main editor.
I have being more interested in the ability to create custom forms from
individual tiddlers and this means being able to insert edit fields macros
in the wiki text so they work in view mode or in a custom field
edit-fields-list so they just open below the tiddler text, I achieved this
but did not publish because when I thought about it just providing edit
text on a field is useful in many cases but what if it is used for a date,
a unique ID, and icon or image link. So now I am building field templates
that you can save as a prefix/fieldname that define how to handle the field
when editing. So one based on an image allows image selection, or one based
on a date, to stamp with now, or to select a date from a calendar. Of
course you are free to edit this definition and make the edit-field as
sophisticated as you desire.
I hope then to move on to a view-fields-list so you can display in
appropriate format the fields (without edit mode or field edit). It Should
be easy then to encode in a tiddler a mixture of view and edit fields that
the user can interact with, without going into the stock standard edit
tiddler mode.
I was playing with edit-fields support for the "text" field, and have not
quite determined how to make it full width and have the number of rows as
the content, like the normal edit text fields work, I may very well find
the answer in TiddlyWikis edit template, which is the beauty of TiddlyWiki,
almost everything you want to do is done in some way already in tiddlywiki.
