"That should do it! If you get stuck, let me know..." - Eric Shulman
Hi Eric! Often help is needed in the editTempate at the stage when a tiddler is being produced with specific tags from a custom newTiddler macro. A tiddler produced with a <<newTiddler tag:'foo'>> might need help specific for that class of tiddler. For example: I am producing tiddlywiki to collect a set of anti-patterns of organisational behavior for a group of users. I would like them to write each tiddler in a specific format using sections. There are other classes of tiddler apart from 'anti-paterns' , 'context sensitive help' is might be required for each tag. The 'context senitive with fallback' is working well. Skye, asked "is it possible use tiddler.tags instead of tiddler.title in this code" : I think that it would be really useful. It is possible to adapt the html tweek method for 'context sensitive help with fallback'?
