The <<edit>> macro was originally written for use from within an EditTemplate. When you embed <<edit>> within tiddler content to display the edit field in *view* mode, it confuses the core's view/edit template transition handling, which looks to see if a field created by the <<edit>> macro exists in the rendered tiddler. If it does, it assumes that the tiddler is already in edit mode and doesn't switch templates. In addition, there's nothing you can *do* with any changes you enter into a "view mode input field"... because there is no 'done' button to press to tell the core to copy the changed value back to the tiddler field. Fortunately, I have a plugin that extends the core's <<edit>> field code so that it can handle both of these issues, making it possible to embed <<edit>> directly in tiddler content and have it actually work: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#EditFieldPlugin After you install this plugin in your document, you will once again be able to edit the tiddler with the embedded <<edit>> macro. enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
