Adam,
Have a look at Marios tocP which uses the "parent" field rather than tags
to build and list a Table of Contents. Comes with a custom new here button.
Also I am using my own custom "new from template tool", I hope to publish
one day.
Regards
Tony

Ciao S. S.
That's a very interesting wiki illustrating that writers need Templates and
confidence getting on to solve it. By "templates", ultimately, I guess the
nicest way would be to be able to do something like Word does
... like "save this as a template" .. in TW its not yet quite that easy
Yes! That's just what I had in mind.

I've come to TiddlyWiki as a potential platform for writing. I'm still
trying to get it setup to do what I want it to do. I'm not really a
programmer. So there isn't much I know how to contribute there, but I can
think of some features that I think would improve ease for writers.
So far, I've i

I am still playing around with this and thinking about it. I think its
*really* good.
More than anything its suggestive of a potential full design to be able to
handle "placeholders" of all types. So you don't need a footnote plugin, or
a stretch-text plugin, or manually typing c

Thanks!
That is an hugely interesting, working, prototype.
It looks like it will match a bunch of writers' concerns.
I will use it a bit more and get back to you in more detail.
(One small teething point I noticed is that currently on "Publish" all
items end up as "T"s.)
Best wishes
Here's a start that has most of the mentioned features:
\define linkfullname() $(target)$!!linktype
\define makelink()
<$reveal type="nomatch" state="""$(target)$!!caption""" text="">
<$set name=title tiddler="""$(target)$""" field="caption">
<$link to="$(target)$"><>

Thanks for the notes related to performance.

My comment was just a "riff". I agree spell-check should be browser

If you're actually using TW for a writing tool, then perhaps you have the
write (right?) kit ??

There are a lot of tools in TW that aid writer's both for scholarly writing
and for literary endeavours. I think its an area of usage ripe for an

As a "want to be writer",
I imagined using an outlier view with a toc in the left hand panel with the
tools to add siblings view edit etc... wrapped around a Custom view/edit

Nice!
The next step would be to have a button next to each item that allows you
to switch from link to transclusion. And/or a small link when displayed as
a transclusion so you could quickly edit the text. The current status would
be stored in a flag in the tiddler. The macro might also need a
I'm just adding my 2cents with an idea:
a small macro that displays a link if the tiddler is missing, but
transcludes the tiddler if it's not:
in a macro-tiddler:
\define trl(text)
{{$text$||transcludilinktemplate}}
\end
in the "transcludilinktemplate":

Crusoe is cruising near [[Crusoe Island]] looking for Crusoe. Crusoe sees
Crusoe with {{binoculars}} looking for Crusoe.
Even though "binoculars" don't appear yet.
The problem is
By placeholders, you mean links, right?
The problem is, what do you do when you want to assemble a final doc? Also,
when I write, I don't necessarily want to "jump" from one context to the
next. I want to sweep my eyes back and forth to make sure I've maintained
tone, voice, wording.
