It will also be a short era. Once the AI start writing code, there will be
no need for us coffee-fied wetware interfaces.
So enjoy the music while you may.

I should write sometime about how "software" can become more like music
playing. I.e. you have a vast system of "instruments" in play, each of
which has a history, a way of working.
The art is in the mastery, at which level you can construct the new, and
not repeat.
Software is still fairly
Folks,
A friendly rant.
In any given structure, there tends to be an atomic smallest unit. In
tiddlywiki this is the tiddler. This unit is so practical we tend to operate in
this domain. In databases the minimum unit is a record, and people have to
build larger structures such as client

You can use a data tiddler to hold the quotes and just give each one a
numeric key that you increment each time. That way you don't have to worry
about names and you can have multi-line quotes. You can't tag them
individually that way but you could have one tiddler for each group of
quotes.
I agree Mario - having multiline fields will not solve this conceptual
problem - the problem being the relationship between titles and content in
a minimum information unit framework.
The solution might not be multiline fields, instead its some way to
*specify* and *access* some kind of "sub

Diego,
I have no such conumdrum, but I am looking at the edge cases, recently
creating a unique field ID allowing references after a title change. One is
unique for all time the other is unique at any moment in time.

Hi Diego,
You have stumbled upon the deep philosophical conundrum at the heart of
tiddlywiki (and maybe the whole world) and one of the "two hardest problems
in computer science"
"There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming
things, and off-by-1 errors
Just to add
Although a field can have only one line it can include or a reference to a
text field which is multiline eg {{othertiddler}}

Hey David,
This is a good idea - but my concern is not so much about how to create and
ensure I have a unique title. Its more that these methods cause me to
question the entire *idea* and *meaning* of a tiddler title under these
circumstances

I would have a new journal button that titles the journal down to the

I respectfully think you are right. I didn't mean they should.
I meant it is an issue that one might want to store data with breaks. BUT I
don't think its necessary the breaks go with it. Its more about the
interaction with fields. Breaks can be re-constituted. The same issue
applies to
I (respectfully) disagree completely on having fields take up multiple
lines!

Comments on fields ...
1 -- you can set TW to show them even if not used (and reveal them outside
the editor if you need)
2 -- you can move them to a different position in the editing interface
3 -- its possible to order them (if you need a lot) other than a-z.
A fundamental problem is you
Thank you all for your response and suggestion.
For me, it seems like this brings into sharp focus the relationship between
a minimum information unit (tiddler?) in TW and its requirements (title?).
As Mark S said, I like thinking of a tiddler more as a database. If so,
then it makes sense
Yes, tiddlers have sub-parts.
Each tiddler can be thought of as a record in a conventional database,
where the title functions as a title, unique id, and visibility flag. There
is only one field that corresponds to a blob or text field (i.e. the text
field). Real databases may have more than
I would consider putting the quote (or the first line of the quote) as the
title of the tiddler, the full quote as the body, and then including
information like speaker, date spoken, location, etc, in fields. I'd also
tag the tiddlers as "Quotes" so it's easy to find all of them. There's
22 matches
