Now that there's a way to make TiddlyPocketBooks (aka PocketMod) with TW, I'm looking for ways to easily create portable documents. My current technique is to create one central library with various sets of 8 pages that make up the PocketBook. I pull the pages into the PocketBook using Eric Shulman's ExternalTiddlerPlugin and a control tiddler to specify the base names of the pages I want, where each page is numbered like Tiddler1, Tiddler2, etc.
One problem is that when sourcing new material, it can be tedious to split it into 8 chunks of about the right size. So, here's my first stab at it: http://marksbasement.tiddlyspot.com/#SplitTextIntoTiddlers Open it up to read the documentation and view the supporting requirements. This script will allow you to split up a large chunk of copied text into however many tiddlers you want, using a specified base (stem) name for the generated tiddlers. It currently uses a character count to to determine the break point, along with word boundaries. A character count isn't perfect, but unless someone can point me to a technique that can readily calculate the space a given bit of text with a given font will take inside a specified box, it will have to do. Picking the right character count for your particular project should get you pretty close, and make the job mostly one of tweaking here or there afterward. Thanks to everyone, especially Eric, for all the help and examples in these forums that makes it possible to create these types of scripts. -- Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
