Hi Mike,

First of all, I believe nesting tabs is best done manually.

At one point I saw a plugin where you could go from one tag to the
next via popups listing all those tiddlers tagged such... iteratively.
Unfortunately I don't remember what it was called.


With tabs you usually display (or a part of) the content of a tiddler
that goes with it.
What would you do with the content of a tiddler which itself were a
tag for other tiddlers?


An example (* means selected*) ...

| *tab A* | tab B | tab C |
| content A                  |

Let's assume D, E and F were tagging A, so today you would see:

| *tab A* | tab B | tab C |
| *subTab D* | subTab E | subTab F |
| content D                                    |

Now, if A were at once a tag and had content itself, how would you
display the content of A? Or would you just want to neglect that
content?


One could however display it in some custom (as in: non standard)
"tabview"... until someone actually clicked on a subtab... like so:

| *tab A* | tab B | tab C |
| subTab D | subTab E | subTab F |
| content A                                 |

But that might require quite a bit of coding and also some sort of
highlight for A (or some sort of dimming for that subtab-Bar) so that
one would understand that it is the content of A that is still
displayed / that no subtab is selected yet). I think there currently
is no way to have a tab "not selected" when it is such a "subtab".

Also, I have not yet seen the kind of "TabTagsPlugin" you're looking
for, which surely should consider the above in its implementation.


Tobias.
