I just had the very pleasant experience of using SliceGridPlugin with
editable text and fields of tiddlers choosen by a tag:
<<sliceGrid [[tags: tag1 tag2]][[slices:=text =title]] inline wikify
edit all 13 verbose>>
I never thought this was possible - Thanks a lot Eric - for yet
another great plugin..
Will you explain what is happening to the text after you have
"activated" an editable cell??
At first it looks wikified - then when you hit/activate a cell it goes
into editmode and the text appears as it would in a tiddler, in
editmode - but when you leave it again - it is a little of both and
display must be refreshed before it is rendered as "wikified"
again... What is this "inbetween mode"?? I discovered that when I have
for instance a fontdefinition @@font-family:"Comic Sans MS"; it will
go back in the inbetweenmode and render/wikify the text as Comic Sans
MS - untill there is a linebreak - then it is rendered as if it was
{{{codeformatted}}} - same thing happens with "normal" text - after
having activated a cell - the text in the cell is rendered as if it
was {{{codeformatted}}}.
I like the effect. I reminds you of where you have been. I was
wondering if it is intentional - or merely an "inbetween state" -
needing a refresh of the display to be correctly rendered?
It is very nice to be able to work on different tiddlers (both text,
titles, tags and fields from a central tiddler) working with slices is
still new for me - but with this plugin I can see a lot of potential -
beeing able to copy/paste and reuse slicedefinitions across tiddlers,
not having to remember every slicedefinition by heart... - great!!
