Regarding a use case using "shorthand" PMario wrote: > > > The point is, I'm completely clueless, why you write "content" with CSS? > What is the purpose? Or is it just testing out the possibilities? >
Its a good question to ask. It forces me to be explicit about it. Yeah, it seems very bizarre at first. But its addressing a very specific use case. For over a decade I have made manual SHORTHAND for lesson instructions for bodywork. An example hand-written (on paper) shorthand for the start of a lesson ... Pb Ob Pbk Crl o ll at k // A1 Abk 1 L 2 R These are instructions in a class I give voice to like this ... Lay down on your back. Observe how you lay on the ground <a lot more like this ... then ...> bend your knees. Cross your right leg over your left ... etc A whole lesson is written on ONE A6 card. Transcribed a lesson would be 4-6 pages of A4. I now want to put online some of these lessons (demand from students). Since *hundreds of phrases are repeated i*n different lessons I want to avoid having to write those for each lesson. That is the background. Hope that makes clearer the issue! I have done some experiments already in TW using transclusion (each sub-phrase a tiddler). It works, but (1) the styling (I need to hide/show parts of lessons) gets very complicated to manage; (2) its a barely readable forest of *{{...}}.* NOW I'm experimenting with your Custom Markup and the results so far look very good. In fact it looks like I might be able to use a slightly modified version my existing shorthand system (mixed with typed text). So, for example ... °Pb.-pos °Ob °.pbk IC.rl °.o °.ll It is important at °.at °K // °.a-1 °a-bk Rest, then °.L2r YES, its an experiment. But a well advanced one that looks very hopeful. Once setup it seems very effective! I think its an interesting use case of efficient utilization of CSS. I may actually use it! :-) Best wishes TT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
