[tw] dragging stuff into tw

2018-02-28 Thread TonyM
I will just add drop and import of files, and export of files for that matter, 
are determined with mime types. The application "tw" and browser need to 
coopperate, there is a suit of standards around this, in part for security.

Also in the past I used a Firefox plugin "copy as html" and pasted this into 
tw5. It often rendered well at least once you set the tiddler type to html. 
Editing after that not so friendly.

Regards
Tony

I was just looking at all the different ways to import stuff and it seems very 
dependent on where it is coming from and the method of import.

Dragging and dropping seems to keep the source formatting ... which can work 
for or against you.

Works great on tables from an html doc although, with a mountain of styles in 
the tags, it is a bit awkward to edit after. Not so great dragging highlighted 
text from a PDF as Tiddlywiki (or most probably the browser underneath) doesn't 
know how to render a PDF fragment.

Copying and pasting seems to work well for importing images that were embedded 
in PDFs.

On top of that, you can cut out all the formatting by opening a new tiddler and 
pasting in to the edit box directly. But then you have the work to reapply all 
the formatting with Wikitext ... but it ends up being the most compact and 
editable.

So lots of trade offs depending on what you want to do with the content after.

Hi community,

I want to share what I've discovered

You may already know this, but for me it's new!

Maybe you can share some interesting things that are possible with it:

I was translating something in a well-known online translator which shows a 
table with some informations below the translation

I somehow selected the table and dragged it to my wiki then I was curious 
enough to import and voilá there's the whole table in html in my wiki, 
beautifully rendered

I didn't know that that works and I'm impressed
Do you know other examples where this works that may be useful?
