However, conceptually, $:/temp tiddlers should be "throw-away"... able to be discarded when not actually in use, while $:/state tiddlers should reasonably be expected to persist across sessions. To enforce this difference, I routinely create a tiddler, tagged with $:/tags/Macro, containing: \define publishFilter() -[prefix[$:/temp]] This variable is automatically included by the $:/core/save/all filter. The effect is that $:/temp tiddlers are NOT saved when you save the file and are, in effect, automatically discarded at the end of the session. Thus, if I want a reveal state to always revert to closed on startup, I will use a $:/temp tiddler, but if I want the reveal state to persist across sessions, I will use a $:/state tiddler -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
