Hi David, The PageTemplate defines the overall structure of the page. *PageTemplate:displayArea:tiddlerDisplay .. is responsible for the tiddler stuff
The tiddler display is defined in the ViewTemplate *ViewTemplate: toolbar .. defines the tiddler toolbar with edit, close ... title .. defines the tiddler title subtitle .. modifier, date ... ... viewer .. "macro='view text wikified' renders the tiddler content The style definitions are in StyleSheetLayout which is a "protected / shadow" tiddler which defines the default values If you want to make changes, use StyleSheet to define your values.

As I mentioned above, if you want to have titel, modifieer, date .. it needs title, subtitel div also. >I've seen bits here and there about the > with: params, but I'm still not clear on the syntax.

But I would suggest to hide them if you don't need them. Because in the future you may want them back :) There are a lot of plugins/transclusions [1] which can be used. > Thanks for giving up part of your holiday to help me with this. Happy > New Year! A Happy New Year I made a step by step howTo which deals with plugins and some aspects of the TW layout. May be it can answere some questions. [2-4] AND: If you tell us a little more details about your "permanent" tiddler. What it should do, or display and where it should appear, may be, there is already a solution. regards Mario [1] http://a-pm.tiddlyspot.com ... see the top menue see: http://www.tiddlytools.com .. search for "transclusion" [2] http://a-pm-part1.tiddlyspot.com ... start of a 3 part howto [3] http://a-pm-part2.tiddlyspot.com ... inserting some additional plugis + StyleSheet + Template [4] http://a-pm-part3.tiddlyspot.com ... 3rd part of the howto -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
