Folks, Although the devil is often in the detail, I think first, taking a strategic approach to tiddlifying such content and parsing the text field of a vcf or ics file into fields within the tiddler, is the smart approach (Leave data tiddlers aside, single tiddler solutions are better). When

First, I am absolutely new to this world. But, the modularization of data has long been my Holy Grail. Given the age of TWK, I suspected that experienced hands might have tackled common data representation problems long ago. Of course, time and events are core to our lives. I envisaged that

Far be it to for me to naysay you. The wrap needs unwrapping. But I can't see huge problems after that. You are right that it proliferates fields. I think the question is WHAT would you need it TW for? Is it worth pursuing? TT, x On Thursday, 14 November 2019 16:36:38 UTC+1, PMario wrote: >

Brian, My comments on VCF largely apply to ics as well. From Google Calendar I exported a zip of all my calendar files. Dropping an ics on tiddlywik imports it as text. It looks like a data dictionary tiddler however it re-uses the same key names for each calendar entry. ics files can be
