Hmmm, That is a completely different question. > so, in other terms, converting a "freelink" to a "backlink" > OK So I'll try to rephrase it: - There should be a list of existing tiddlers - The occurrence of every tiddler title in the tiddler text, should be replaced by [[tiddler title]] - The action should be global I would prefer: - There should be a list of existing tiddlers - It should be possible to configure, which existing tiddler title should be "replaced" - If configured, the occurrence of every tiddler title in the tiddler text, should be replaced by [[tiddler title]] - The action should be global This makes it more controllable, but not really flexible. ... IMO a global search and replace can be an extremely "destructive" functionality. I personally would like to have much, much -- more control over the "find and replace" process. I would like, to be able to control it on a per tiddler level. So for me an editor button would be the right thing to go with. TW action-widgets know the tm-edit-text-operation <https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-edit-text-operation>. I think, the implementation of edit-toolbar buttons would be a good starting point. I think it would give users much more fine grained control, over the whole "review process". Just my thoughts! I could do it in any language in 3 minutes top can't understand why it is > so complicated in TW :S > hmm. ... Don't get me wrong. Then it would be the right thing to do it that way. ... right? I did need much more time to write this response ;) have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
