Sorry if this has been shared before but I just came across something that
I think is pretty useful.
I was creating a wiki that had some terms in it that I don't use everyday
and I would stumble over the definition while I was reading the article. I
wanted a way to access the definitions without having to go to another
tiddler to do so. So what I did was make a macro, a data tiddler, and a
little CSS to make a popup of the definition show over whatever word I
choose.
*Macro*
\define def(word)
<abbr title={{Definitions##$word$}}>$word$</abbr>
\end
*Definitions Tiddler*
syllogism:an instance of a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn
from two given or assumed propositions (premises)
ontological:relating to or ''based'' upon being or existence
emoting:responding to a challenge with emotion rather than good reasoning
*Type: application/x-tiddler-dictionary*
Now in a tiddler, I can just put something like this:
"This is a valid <<def "syllogism">>. If the premises are true, then the
conclusion would be true as well."
In the article, the word syllogism will have a dotted underline (you can
make the look anything you want via CSS) and when I hover my mouse over it,
I get the definition of the word as entered in the Definitions tiddler.
This is very handy depending on the type of wiki you are creating.
Again, if this was created by someone else, I apologize for not giving
credit. I just can't remember where it came from.
