Thanks Mark S. I didn't understand. I do now. YES. It could be quite easy for me as I now understand what you saying. Decent text editors support "vertical paste" so it would be easy to get a number on each line and then in TW regex it into position. BUT I'm still playing with "how to do this

[tw] Re: Tech Query: Pecularities of Non-Copying Copy!!

What I'm suggesting is that you don't need the counters -- you create a 1000 rules to apply a 1000 counts, one after the other. Building up those rules shouldn't take long in a good text editor (especially one's like Emacs that have column modes). -- Mark On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at

[tw] Re: Tech Query: Pecularities of Non-Copying Copy!!

The counters are generated inside pseudo classes, so they can't be selected. I saw a hint that suggested you could use chrome preview to make the text selectable, but it loses all line formatting. I'm not familiar with how your regex tools work. Do they re-iterate until there are no more

Ciao w There must be a way to do it! Its right now likely very obscure because I don't think most users are aware of this issue. I wasn't until I started generating CSS numbers. CSS numbers are incredibly easy and useful for ordering in TW. Being able to copy them in context would enable some

[tw] Re: Tech Query: Pecularities of Non-Copying Copy!!

Thanks! I understand now: because they are css generated they don't exist in the DOM then I think it's just the wrong way to generate those numbers, because that's how css works - it doesn't generate DOM elements as far as I know Am Montag, 19. Februar 2018 18:57:43 UTC+1 schrieb whatever: > >

The numbers are generated using standard CSS "Counters". The Tiddler render is produced from a series of regular expressions that creates the stylesheet at its end here: https://onepager.tv/tw_reggie.html#rx-mason-tids-jason-RT%201 On Monday, 19 February 2018 18:53:08 UTC+1, BurningTreeC

Right. Its not a TW5 issue. Its a much bigger issue. I was at first completely confused by it. WHY on earth is something you can see on screen can't be highlight and copied? It seems mad to me. Obviously at some level it MUST be accessible since its in the final page render. What surprises

I totally agree. On the spectrum of feature<->failure I'd err toward the latter. In fact, as a result of this intriguing exercise, I'm filing before/after under a similar heading as "goto", "eval" and "important!" So let me say this, Josiah: you need a solution that does not use CSS
