As said on the github issue, it's not clear to me what exactly you want to do with this: Is it meant as a feature request board (doesn't look like one, but you posted it on the GitHub issue pertaining to that...) ? Or is it a general chat/forum meant to replace this group? I /hate/ google

[tw5] How to reference the parent (containing) tiddler?

2018-06-04 Thread Luca Dorigo
For now I have something like <> This usually kind-of-works, but it actually displays a toc for the *current *tiddler, not the tiddler in which the snippet is contained. How can I change that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

I like this. It seems better than having "spinoffs" like cardo.wiki that are hard(er) to integrate with your own wiki. Le mercredi 11 avril 2018 11:26:48 UTC+2, BurningTreeC a écrit : > > Hi Mat , > > I was thinking that we (the community) could make collections/packages > (like editions)

[tw5] Why is there no IRC channel & should we make one?

2018-04-11 Thread Luca Dorigo
Hi, I've read previous posts about moving to different forums and the reasons why GG is good for our needs, but there isn't much talk about a live chat. I think IRC is far superior to forums for quick questions, especially for noobs: it's interactive, so people can quickly ask follow-up

Until the channel is pointed to and designated as official help channel in various places (documentation, this group, tiddlywiki website, github, etc.) there's never going to be enough people to bring it to life. There should also be some people willing to be operators (I wouldn't mind

True, but the point of IRC is not to have retrievable information more to get quick help on mostly rapidly solvable issues. If I have to come ask a question here, I'm stuck until someone answers, sometimes hours later. On IRC a newb can get an answer in the minute and get on with what he was

Maybe I'm not using the feature as intended but at the moment titles really mess up my tiddlers. For example, say I have a tiddler "Subtopic" containing the following wikitext: Some intro text, blablablablabla, nothing important, ! First Section Some more explanation,

Hi there, I've been doing just this for the past year. TW is a wonderful tool for the purpose, but it does need some tweaking in order to be usable as live notetaking. Here are some tips: * Use the node version of TW. Preferably storing it on dropbox or some cloud provider so you don't want
