Hmm, You can't have 2 tiddlers with the same name (James Jones) but if you have a reference number and make that number the tiddler name you can have several people with the same name. In Sweden back in the old days sons get there fathers firstname as lastname like this:
Jan Andersson > son of Jan is Johan Jansson (sson after Jan) >> son of Johan is Anders Johan-sson >>> son of Anders is Jan Ander-sson (again, same name) just an example and it >>> could even be that Jan Anderssons son gets the name Jan Andersson also. >>> They weren't so keen on different names back in 1700 :) If a tiddler could use the reference # as the tiddler field in seqence of +1 and we could add a new field with the persons name, it would be great, than we can have how many Mary Jones or Anders Andersson as we will. Hope you understand what I mean. It's not that important if you think it's a "little" overkill :) //Tobbe On 7 Okt, 11:59, jdlrobson <[email protected]> wrote: > Would this reference number be used as a title?
