Hi Saq, First, thanks so much for your help!
Yes, I have modified *static.tiddler.html* - it looks like this <https://github.com/anthilemoon/tw-experiments/blob/master/%24__ness_labs_template_static-view-template.tid> in my setup — and it looks like your approach is working! Thank you! Will keep on tweaking, but if you're curious you can see here <https://github.com/anthilemoon/tw-experiments> the files where I did the regex edits. (following these instructions <https://www.didaxy.com/exporting-static-sites-from-tiddlywiki-part-5>) Many thanks!
