[tw5] Re: Add items to a running tiddler
That's awesome, thank you. I only have a very very basic understanding of
javascript and want to learn, so I'm going to try and understand this as I
implement it, so it may be a bit. I'll let you know once I get it up and
running. Unfortunately both my son and I were exposed to covid over the
weekend and we're waiting on test results, so I'm off work and have some
extra time. I'll start looking at it tonight and may have it figured out by
tomorrow.

[tw5] Re: Add items to a running tiddler
Hi Tones, Thank you for your reply. Here is an example of what my *Commands learned* header looks like right now: *Commands learned:* - *whoami *- Prints current username. - *clear *(ctrl l) - Clears terminal. - *adduser *- **requires sudo* *Adds new user. - *which *- Prints directory which command binaries are being used from. The list goes on, but I think you can gather the idea from this. As of now, they are just living inside of the tiddlers in which they were recorded. I would like to automatically add each one to a separate tiddler (and auto sort them if possible) so that all commands can be accessed in one place, while also remaining in their original tiddler. I have also created a *Glossary *tiddler for recording important definitions. For that, I have simply been using this format [[*new term*|Glossary]] as a link to the *Glossary *tiddler and then adding them manually there. I think this is what you are referring to in your reply, but I'm not certain. If so, this doesn't really solve the problem of having to manually add them to the tiddler.

[tw5] Add items to a running tiddler
Is there a plugin that will allow me to place some code before an item or a list of items that will append the text to an already existing tiddler? As an example, I am currently taking a YouTube course on the Linux command line and am creating a tiddler for each video. One of my note headers is "Commands learned", and I would like to have this list of commands placed into a tiddler of the same name without having to manually add them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
