This got me thinking that if the type of content allows it, and it's really long, you could break it into smaller tiddlers and use what Eric mentioned above. Combine the smaller tiddlers in to one by using a series of <<tiddler TiddlerName>>. If you include <<toolbar editTiddler>> in each small tiddler you can edit it directly from the rendered long tiddler. Of course, depending on the content, you may not want Edit showing or you could nearly hide it by changing the color of the Edit text to very light. ....well it's an idea anyhow:-) Morris On Jan 8, 8:54 am, Eric Shulman <[email protected]> wrote: > > Here's the scenario...
