I'm up for it but with two disclaimers: This month I have a lot of (real) work on and off. Comes in "lumps". I suck at Github so my PRs would be via demos etc at tiddlyspot and someone else would have to do the merging. If that is OK, then I'm in. <:-) -- You received this message because

How about we start a organisational Repo in GitHub called TW5-Community and work collaboratively on the wizard Jeremy asked for? It would take the noise out the main repo. Once Jeremy is well, we can loop him in. Sincerely, Riz On Tue, 19 May 2020, 17:33 Mat, wrote: > PMario > > It is a GREAT

PMario It is a GREAT idea to use the info area as a mini-type controlpanel for the tiddler, especially to set which view/edittemplates to show. Overall I think transclusion enables control both to be central/global for the wiki and local for specific contexts. I think this is under-used in TW.

Hi, I think it would be possible to give the TW default (i)nfo section more love. At the moment, it is hidden by default. So users need apps like stroll or others to find out, that the whole backlinking mechanism has always been there. Just 1 click away. Many users have to go a long way, and

*Mat *I don't mind building widgets and using macros to simplify them. Actually I would like to choose my own templating language. In static site builders like 11ty or Gatsby you also use something like Liquid, Nunchucks, Handlebars as a templating language. Kind of like macros that run widgets

The idea is to get users to use widgets and macros, definitely. However, the question is how to get them to that level quickly. If the syntax for normal things like headings, bold and italics are something they are already familiar with, users don't have to spend time picking them up. That time

As a recent user of TiddlyWiki, with no coding experience, I agree with a lot of Edgaras has said in his posts. TiddlyWiki is highly customizable, but there is also a high barrier of entry to it. I think new users would use the lists-link macro, but most of their writing would just be text,

May be TW5 can offer an edition where wikitext markup mimic the markdown syntax. It won't be hard, a few regex changes in 20-25 parser tiddlers. That way new users don't have to deal with learning a new markup. If they do not intend to dive deep to use widgets and macros and all, they can simply
