*Wouldn't it be good if *... entering #FooBar in tiddler.text resulted in that Tiddler being tagged FooBar
Sometimes people (often Geeks?) use xml markup in their posts to groups to add expression For example <fascinating> nuts and bolts, and knots and bolts are great ways of joining > things together </fascinating> > However hashtags are now commonly used in other micro content environments such Twitter posts. As the '#' prefix becomes more commonly used it may become appropriated by the into the mainstream in a similar way SMS slang [ ] has (my mum uses CU in her texts) and the xml markup fade into the history of Geekery Furthermore, Delicious has now been integrated with Twitter. There is an option to post to twitter from delicious using the tag '@twiiter' . As a consequnce, there is evidence of hashtags being used in Delicious posts: Ben Goldacre is on celebrated adoptor of this convention Wikifyling a set of tweets using a tool such as *TiddlyTweets* would be more beneficial if hashtags were converted to TiddlyWiki Tags Tweating with archiving and parsing in mind would offer another way to write to a TiddlyWiki. This would also be good for FreeWriting and BrainStorming techniques to aid creative problem solving; it could develop into a new style of writing. @FooBar could also be wikified in a similar way. I've notice @used in Delicious posts as well as Twitter. *Towards a Solution* A TiddlyWiki solution would requite an addition to the wikifier. This involves the coding of 'regular expresions' - a difficult part of Javascript. It might require a lot of work so the benefits learning how and coding this of this might have to thought through. Used at the start of a line, '#' is used to generate ordered lists. The wikifier would have to work out of there was a space before the '#' to distinguish between parsing and auto-numbering Any thoughts?
