[tw5] Re: Spell checking in Linux TiddlyDesktop

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

Works on my Linux xubuntu TD  v14.

Thoughts.

Sometimes it's better to get the release at the release point (e.g. v14), 
rather than a pre-release which might be in an indeterminate state.

Possibly it "borrows" from the local Chrome installation. Does spell-check 
work when you run chrome or chromium ?

[tw5] Re: searching for an item in a list stored as a tiddler's field

[Stobot]

CarloGgi, just to address your note about it being unintuitive and not 
documented, I agree that at first it seems very strange! However it *is* 
documented in a few places where I think it should be 
(https://tiddlywiki.com/#title%20Operator). Do you have a suggestion where 
else it should be noted? Maybe we can submit a change request if you have a 
good idea. To expand a bit, this (below) is what's shown (note the last 
line in particular about it being a "constructor") and the alternative 
syntax that would do what you expected (field operator) which is a 
"modifier":

[image: titleoperator.PNG]

If you follow the link to constructor you'll see them described and call 
out the title example again, as it's the most common. 

[image: selectionconstructors.PNG]
You may have noticed that on the "title Operator" tiddler, there's a tag 
saying it's a "Selection Constructor". If you click it, you'll get a 
drop-down of other operators that work that way.

[tw5] Spell checking in Linux TiddlyDesktop

[Lisa Rowell]

I moved my tablet from Windows to Linux (Fedora) and everything is working 
smoothly, with the exception of spell checking when editing within 
TiddlyDesktop itself (V15 prelease 2). Spell checking while editing the 
same wiki in Firefox works fine and it worked in TD, same wiki, in WIndows 
and MacOS.

Is there anything I need to do special to get this to work on Fedora?

Thanks.

Lisa

This should do what you literally asked for ...

<$set name="my_tiddler" value="tiddler-X">
<$list filter="[tag[mytag]contains:my_tiddlers_list]" >
Tiddler <> has <> in field my_tiddlers_list 




Aside:

Some filter operators filter an existing title list. Others generate lists 
without input. Filter operator "list" and "title" are in the latter 
category.

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

I don't believe that you can increment a variable that way. You might be 
able to using some sort of recursive function.

But if you're using 5.2.0, you now have the *counter* attribute, so don't 
need those extra steps:

<$vars projs_list="A B C">
<$list filter="[enlist]" variable ="proj_name_val" 
counter="vals_rep" >
 <> <$checkbox tiddler="projs_selection" 
index=<>  checked=<>>

[tw5] Re: searching for an item in a list stored as a tiddler's field

[CarloGgi]

it turns out that in any filter written as

 filter="[[whatever_selection_here]title[xyzxyz]]"

all the selection preceding the step with tiddler's title is dropped and 
only that title is retained and passed on to the next step -if there is 
any. (And this wheter any xyzxyz tiddler exists or not by the way).

so for example 

 filter="[tag[bar]title[foo]]"

outputs foo, even if tiddler foo has no 'bar' tag at all, and even if 
tiddler foo doesn't exist. This explains the apparently strange behavior 
above, and it is also quite counter-intuitive (one would intuitively expect 
the filter to output all the tiddlers -zero or one actually- that match 
title 'foo' and are tagged 'bar') so this behavior would deserve to be  
highlighted strongly in the documentation IMHO.

with reference to my previous post, no need to say neither this code works 
for the inner filter:
<$set name='my_tiddler' value='tiddler-X'>
...
   filter="[enlist{!!my_tiddlers_list}]">

nor this:

<$set name='my_tiddler' value='tiddler-X'>
...
   filter="[[enlist{!!my_tiddlers_list}]]">

they both always output the value of <>, whether it was 
included in my_tiddlers_list or not.

[tw5] searching for an item in a list stored as a tiddler's field

[CarloGgi]

Hallo again,
I have some tiddlers with a special field, call it 'my_tiddlers_list' that 
stores, not hard to guess, a list of other tiddlers. By 'list' I mean to 
say the result of an <$action-listops xxx subfilter> widget, which is 
indeed some 'collection' of items separated by whitespace. I don't know if 
that's a 'list' in the sense of a type of variable (does TW have any 
variable types after all? It seems it doesn't).
Anyway, how do I go to check if a given tiddler 'tiddler-X' is included in 
the list of tiddlers stored into field 'my_tiddlers_list' of a[ny] tiddler? 
When I transclude the reference to 'my_tiddlers_list' as in 
{{!!my_tiddlers_list}}what i get is a unique 'string'. How do I split it up 
into its single member items? And once split the string into tokens (its 
member items), ho do I perform the comparison check?

So far, I came up with this very beginner-level code (I'm sure there are 
more elegant, concise ways to write it, merging the two filters into a 
single one and getting rid of one of the <$list> cycles) that tries to 
exploit 'enlist' operator. I leave some parts as 'pseudocode' because I 
don't know how to write them:

<$set name='my_tiddler' value='tiddler-X'>

<$list  filter="[tag[mytag]has:field[my_tiddlers_list]]" >
   <$list filter="[enlist{!!my_tiddlers_list}canIDoTheComparisonHere?]">
orShallICompareHere? AndIfSo,How?
 




but have no clue if I'm going the right way and how to do the comparison 
check.

Writing inner filter as filter="[enlist{!!my_tiddlers_list}[tiddler-X]]" 
doesn't work, nor does it work writing it as 
filter="[[enlist{!!my_tiddlers_list}][tiddler-X]]". In both cases I get 
<> valued as tiddler-X, regardless if it is included in 
my_tiddlers_list's list or not. For God's sake: why? And how do I write the 
check? 

Thanks for helping,
CG

Ciao Hans (hww...@gmail.com)

Meanwhile, till I can find the exact Bimlas discussion, I did write a long 
note on Zettlekasten that had an interesting ensuing discussion 
... https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/pCcWB2zVD40/m/3YILA5jsBQAJ 

Best, TT

@ TiddlyTweeter

The thoughts in this thread are a good review of some basic concepts would 
likely be helpful to newCoimers as well as veterans.  Hence I think there 
(/should be)  interest in accepting your offer to add some links.


Cheers,
Hans

Right.  Traditional Zettelkasten entries never change their titles. And 
they tend towards a strict, delimited, unchanging, scope. FWIW, in various 
experiments in TW with Zettlekasten, there has been *translusion* used to 
cope, particularly, with "inter-referring" between them.  A modest 
extension from the basic idea of their "invariability". Bimlas has written 
and worked extensively about this. I'll look for his links if there is 
interest.

[Mat]

One main point with a tiddler is that you can *reuse the content in 
different narratives*. But if you don't reuse the content in other 
narratives, then there is no real need for a more fine grained partition of 
the content.

As the others describe: In practice this often means creating a tiddler of 
any arbitrary length. If the need arises to split it, then just do so. It 
is a natural and "need based" process. Often the context steers how long 
tiddlers are. Many of my tiddlers are just the tiddler title, no content 
text. Some are several pages long. Some are several pages because they are 
generated lists, but occasionally it is several pages of raw text. 
Obviously, the use case for your wiki affects this; are you a novel author 
or is the TW used for your shopping lists.

...but you say this is for your Zettelkasten (a system I've never used) so 
wouldn't you face the exact same "problem" regardless of how you manifest 
this? I.e if your purpose is "zettelkasten" then wouldn't that steer how 
long the content of your tiddlers would be?

[TW Tones]

I would support Charlies comment by pointing out a case for long tiddlers 
(when search is a available to you) that some people just find it easier 
not to break information up into smaller pieces, sometimes this draws your 
attention to the fact you are almost repeating yourself. If and when you 
must then consider breaking it up. "Horses for courses".
