Hi Mat. I'm not a developer, but I am a daily user of TW. I really think it's amazing stuff and I think it's awesome that Jeremy has given it away for free to the world whilst devoting so much of his time to developing it. I'm sure you don't mean to sound harsh in pointing out it's flaws,

Hi Danielo, Thanks very much for posting this. In my list I transclude the body of each tiddler like this {{!!text}} This works because currentTiddler is being set. If I change the list statement to include variable=item how do I refer to the correct tiddler? {{??!!text}} or some other

I didn't say it was pretty :) I was using it to break up text as I read it, in pretty much the way Alex described and then the bits I wanted to edit further, I would grab the text from the view and paste it over all the garbage in the edit window. It would only work for plain text. I know it's

Hi TWers, As you may know, I am very interested in educational (micro) content. I just came across this excellent talk by Danny Hillis which pretty much crystalises my own opinion about the kind of learning system that we need to build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKcZ8ozCah0 I think

I cut and pasted a document into my TW. I then refactored it into tiddlers. Hi Alex, I have been doing similar things to this. I love the TiddlyClip plugin that BJ made (thanks BJ!). With it I can make 3 kinds of clips from wikipedia pages (for example) - I can clip text, pictures or

Hi Andrew, Did you start with the 'empty' TW5 file, as downloadable from the 'GettingStarted' tiddler? (http://tiddlywiki.com/#:GettingStarted) I just downloaded a copy and it shows as being 1.2MB in size whereas the 'full' version with the docs etc. is about 3MB. Any tiddlers that appear to

A little bit off topic. Agreed. Apologies. the server side backend seems to be closed source. At least I didn't find any open source repositories. Tin-Can is an open reference standard. Although I don't have much experience of such things, I don't think it is too difficult to

Hi Atul, The easiest way I have found to import images is to drag them into the wiki and drop them (on the green drop-zone). You can import multiple images at once in this way. If necessary, you can put a 'browse' button where you want it: http://tiddlywiki.com/#:BrowseWidget Regards,
