Here we Go, Example 1
In a tiddler called CodeTiddler place
Description: <$edit-text field="description" size=80/>
In a tiddler called "Edit view" tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate enter
{{||CodeTiddler}}
Click on the $:/tags/ViewTemplate tag pill and drag the "Edit view" to
above $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body
*Notes*
- This does not work on the CodeTiddler or Edit view themself but you
can edit the current tiddlers description field on any other tiddler
without lag or focus loss.
- Fields are created as soon as you enter something (nice fact)
- Note the use of "||" in the CodeTiddler! this means transclude here
with the currentTiddler, otherwise you will edit yourself and it breaks.
Regards
Tony
