A Quick overview of freelinks Normally if you link to a tiddler you have to use [[some text]] in you wiki text or another means such as a tag, but once you create the "some text" tiddler, with freelink on, if you are displaying a tiddler containing "bla bla some text bla bla" then the 'some text' will automatically become an active link to the "some text" tiddler. Thus if you create a tiddler #book or even book where ever the text is used, it appears as a link.
- Of course to open the tiddlers in the first place you need search etc to get them. - It allows you to see incidental references - I often create tiddlers such as [[use fields rather than tags as context indicators]] and plain english words like "hierarchy" so freelinks will highlight their reuse in other free text.
