When you say you "made some mods and added some content", I assume you mean you changed some of the default "shadow tiddler" definitions (like SiteTitle, SiteSubtitle, MainMenu, StyleSheet, etc.), and then created a few new tiddlers for your own content, and that what you want to do is to create a new document that includes the tiddlers that hold the modified definitions, but not the ones that hold your content. However, the chkSaveEmptyTemplate setting (see AdvancedOptions) causes TW to create a completely empty TW document (called empty.html) that contains *no tiddlers at all*, and thus it probably isn't what you are looking for. Of course, you can always simply copy the entire TW file (using your OS), and then open the copy, strip out the content and save it. Then keep that file around as a 'starter' that you can copy at any time to create a new document. Alternatively, if you want a flexible, TiddlyWiki-based solution, try this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPlugin It allows you to create a new document from the current one, and can use tags to auto-select a subset of tiddlers (e.g., only tiddlers tagged with 'includeNew' or some other distinct tag). Also, if automatic tag matching is not sufficient, you can use this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ExportTiddlersPlugin which provides a completely interactive "control panel" with a multi- select listbox so you can manually choose the tiddlers you want to write to the new file. Note: you can also use ExportTiddlers to write a "PureStore" file that selected tiddlers, but omits all the TW core programming. PureStore files can be used as archives for saving old tiddlers, or as small 'transport files' for sharing a few tiddlers with others (e.g, sent as email attachments). Although PureStore files are not immediately viewable as a TW document, they can be directly imported into a running TW document because they contain a 100% TW-compatible 'tiddler store area'. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
