Re: [tw5] Re: Understanding Templates, Macros, Etc.
It is good to be welcomed, even as a newcomer. Many communities are not so generous :-). One follow-up question, though: when you say, "add the following $button wherever you like", do you mean within an existing tiddler? Or is there a way to assign it an icon and have it be an action that I can configure into my main menu-bar?

[tw5] Understanding Templates, Macros, Etc.
Please forgive the somewhat newbie-ish post. What I am trying to do is similar to something another list member posted about recently, but I was still new to the list and getting my mail app to properly file list-mail. As such, I lost some of the threads. I use TiddlyWiki a fair amount, with different wikis for different purposes: one for coding projects, one for master's thesis research, one for my scale modeling hobby projects, etc. But for each of these I have a similar need: I want to be able to create a new tiddler with some amount of text already present (generally just a collection of headings at different levels). Using the scale modeling wiki as an example: I want to be able to click a button and create a new "Project" tiddler, in which a few basic tags are set but which also has the skeleton content of: !!Materials !!!Kits/Aftermarket !!!Accessories !!References !!Web References !!Notes I have similar needs for the other wikis, but different basic structure. I would normally think of this sort of thing as a template, but I think that TW uses template to mean something different? I found a very close sample of this on the Grok TiddlyWiki site, using "$action-sendmessage" and "tm-new-tiddler", but it wasn't clear how to include body content.

[tw5] New to TiddlyWiki - cannot find clear documentation as to how to massage a stylesheet just for printing.
I found someone's effort at improving styles when printing here: https://gist.github.com/ssokolow/1110618 However, although I have done a lot of web site coding in the past, including with CSS, for the life of me I cannot find any clear documentation anywhere at all (I have searched threads in this forum, the existing documentation, and also Google at large) about how styles are managed in the current version of TiddlyWiki (which I have just installed, and am running on Mac via TiddlyDesktop); and also how a stylesheet might be restricted to printing only. If there is some special place where all this is explained, I would be grateful for where to find it. thanks - RB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

[tw] Double square bracket dual usage?
Are double square brackets only used for links, i.e. [[Label Text|TargetTiddler]] ? Are double squares sometimes used for quote-like purposes?

[tw] Re: ExternalTiddlersPlugin with Pretty Link Name
Thanks for the response... Tiddly and JavaScript are totally new to me. I'm a programmer developing C, Fortran and associated documentation. I'm hoping that TiddlyWiki can help pull it all together. How best to integrate them is what I'm exploring... ExternalTiddlersPlugin almost does enough (perhaps unintentionally), perhaps I need TiddlyWeb, perhaps something else. Goals: * Maintain Tiddly markup in plain text files (no HTML encoding). * Leverage TiddlyWiki to present pages (Wiki-editing is optional) I want to use TiddlyWiki to display pages, while doing most of the authoring and maintenance of pages in Vim (where I'm highly productive). Vim allows me to approximate the Wiki experience, i.e. syntax/markup highlights and follow links with gf and/or gu (goto file under cursor and/or Utl universal text links). This helps with authoring but is not good enough for published documentation. Vim allows me to refactor code and documentation both easily and globally. Ctags allow the raw Tiddler source to magically link to C and Fortran source. The gf tricks allow the code to magically link to the Tiddler documentation. Both are useful, especially during initial development of a large project when there are 2 gazillion details to cross-reference and get right. My Vim syntax file uses Tiddly highlights in C and Fortran comments (which enhances readability in my opinion), while retaining language highlights for the executable portions of the source code. Question: would a TiddlyCtags plugin make any sense? i.e. have a plugin that uses ctags information to find and display relevant source code, without explicitly using link markups. Ctags is like a glossary of terms and where their definition can be found. If the user clicks on a naked phrase that is not defined, then they might be given the opportunity to define it (glossary entry or source code).

You can't use a TW *macro* inside the PrettyLink syntax. Macro don't work that way. They don't generate *text* that is inserted into the source and then parsed. Rather, they render their own output (if any) by directly generating browser DOM elements. Thus, you can't combine output from a macro with some surrounding syntax and then have that combination parsed as if it had been entered as text. [[text to show|tiddler TiddlerName]] is *not* valid TW syntax, and I'm actually surprised that it rendered at all, and even more astonished it appears to do anything even remotely similar to what you intended. Perhaps if you describe your objectives (in regular prose, not pseudo- code), I can suggest a suitable syntax that *is* valid and will achieve the results you want. -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.
