Re: [tw5] Re: For a reader, is TiddlyWiki better than reading a PDF, and why?

John, Good points but not universal. What you describe is a common and valuable use. Its ability to be distributed and confidently be read is one of PDF great values, but this is also true for single file tiddlywiki's HTML etc... Its always important to remember the wiki in tiddlywiki is a

Re:[tw5] For a reader, is TiddlyWiki better than reading a PDF, and why? Wrong question. What is the function of a PDF? What is the function of TiddlyWiki? Well it can be boiled down to - * A PDF was a concept to provide an immutable text document. That tech has figured out how to bend the rules

I Love Tony (TW Tone)'s example of outputting multiple view of a Resume depending on audience. THAT ALONE is the #1 advice given to job-hunters in the current digital landscape, but that often mean hours of customizing a resume for a single application that is then never re-used. I am also

1 - TW is better (in theory & practice). Once you got your book in it you can do things other tools can't. No doubt. 2 - In practice e-pubs are a market sector. Identifying TW as a player in that sector as a reader is not a trivial matter. 3 - EXPORT to the formats recognized by Amazon et al

G'day TW Tones and all, This is such an awesome thread. And I'm oh-so-envious of how all of you are so smoking good at eloquently expressing them quality thoughts. With the wiki product I use at work to document the software system I support, I have the information componentized to the hilt

[tw5] Re: For a reader, is TiddlyWiki better than reading a PDF, and why?

Mobil As the others had said tiddlywiki has a lot more power for interactive smart documents. However it is also easy to convert them to PDF (and possibly other formats) if desired. Using tiddlywiki to research and analyse is no doubt better. Its the old question of who is the audience. If
