In another thread <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/O8PsOD8_Zwo/i5F5raavAQAJ>, Jermolene commented on a statement of mine:

For example, it is of course trivial to type "I love TiddlyWiki" on paper as well as in a tiddler. It is also trivial, on paper, to write+draw "I ❤ TiddlyWiki" but this is typically impractical when making a tiddler note. A drawing from a touch pad is, in my experience, a rough sketch so it is rarely useful outside of an *immediate* context e.g some explanation. So, in my experience, drawn images such as ❤ should ideally not have to be separate tiddlers as it really is no more separate than when we type the word "love" in a sentence. That some scribbles are really part of the text is even more obvious when one considers annotations such as underlines or margin scribbles. (I made the transparent canvas proposal <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4035> partly for this reason, i.e to be able to circumvent having to create a new tiddler and transclude it.) This is image-in-text problem is not unique to TW of course. I could not scribble a heart in this very google post either. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
