In my opinion PrintRiver by BTC does part of the job. It needs improvement 
to lets have something like Wikipedia book creator: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Books

I mean when TW-Docs is used by people not familiar with Tiddlywiki, they 
expect the full content search and current search is different. By the way 
I am trying to use informative keywords in caption and perhaps another 
field and customize search to look at those fields.

2020-03-15 Thread TonyM
Mohammad,

I am not exactly sure what you are missing but for my client I built a 
solution that produces a visible "report" that also uses 
etc... in tables and @media print css sutch that once they 
review the report they can open in new window and print or save to PDF. The 
PDF printer driver does the work and there are some issues to watch. For 
example sometimes I need to scale the page in the print preview to get the 
desired result.

To complement the use of interactive tables I have also generated a csv 
version of the same details and with a click the result is copied to the 
clipboard, perhaps there is a way to make a button wikify a non visible 
tiddler (PDF template) and send it to the printer?

On the standard search this is defined to suit new users but more and more 
we see custom or modified searches, what in your tiddlywiki can you not 
search for?

Regards
Tony

I am very interested in that! but it is not given as a plugin and I could 
not figure it out which tiddlers should be exported to use it in another 
wiki!
in the other hand I do not know what is the license! I hope it is MIT or 
similar ones to let others use it in their own wikis.

The e-pub "highlight search" is very good in both highlighting in the "hit 
list" and in the text field.

The focus on the "text" field is particularly Good as its been under-used 
imo in the past. 

I think for "free-text" its simply the best approach. Tools like that are 
really excellent for unstructured data.
Most of the time you need nothing more.
