[tw] Re: [TW5] Transcluded Menu Bar for Tiddlers in a Tabset? (Using /tobibeer/inc Plugin?)

Hi, Tobias — I hadn't realized it until last night, but there are some other complications from the modified $:/core/macros/tabs. These crop up in the info panel: - Only the most basic fields (caption, tag, and title) get listed under fields. (Look at a plugin tiddler for comparison.)

[tw] [TW5] Template Transclusion Within <$List> Macro

I have some newhere buttons I'd like to transclude into different tiddlers. Naturally, I want them to behave as if currentTiddler is the including tiddler, not the tiddler where the button lives. (For example, I want to assign the tags of the tiddler from which the button is clicked, not the

Hi, Emil — Welcome to TiddlyWiki! Are you using TiddlyWiki Classic or TiddlyWiki5? I see you prefaced your post with [TWC], which usually means you're asking about TiddlyWiki Classic (the versions of TiddlyWiki released before 2014) and prompts me to ask whether there's any particular reason

[tw] Re: [TW5] Tabs Macro - alt names for tabs

Hi, Hegart — I have a similar situation to yours. I use certain tiddlers as tab contents in different places; in some places, I want to the tab to have one name, and in others I want it to have another name. So I cloned the tabs macro shadow tiddler and created the <$tabs-altCaptions> macro.

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki Hangout #96 will be on Thursday 28th January at 3pm GMT/UTC

Under the heading of making TW more Finnish, I'd like to push a pet topic of mine — a "last pass" over TW's basic wikitext to address whether it's indeed complete and whether it could bear the weight of some minor late-in-the-game revisions:

You are a mad genius, William. If you and Tobias didn't have day jobs, one of you would surely rule the world by now. Thanks for making me think about this a little more. Looking with fresh eyes, I can see other alternative approaches available, depending on how far I want to stray from the
