node.js is not needed if you start empty.html in the browser. ... The file is "self contained" no other dependencies. tiddlywiki CLI (command line tool) has an option to start a server. eg: tiddlywiki mywiki --server. Where mywiki is the name of an edition. If a tw server is started that way, nodejs is needed. > - It has two ways: installing node.js and as a standalone html page. > > see above. node.js is not needed if you want to run tw in the browser. > > - It runs in all new browsers with: > - html5 > - javascript > - more needs? > > CSS > and: > > When a browser loads a page: > > - It loads the html file. > - It parse it and generates the DOM. > - It runs the scripts > - It loads the css styles > > That's basically the basic process every html page uses. ... But the main work is done in boot.js. That's where the real magic happens. boot.js "extracts" the core plugin, which contains all the other javascript modules, UI templates and base CSS. ....

If you download empty.html and open the ControlPanel: Plugins: ... click: "Get more plugins" button ... a modal will open with an: "open plugin library" button ... click it and select the "language" tab, to see the languages, you want to import. > - Is posible to generate the wiki with less elements? > > Yes.
