Me too :–D  After TT mentioned one of my older plugins "listreveal" I think 
I’ll have to clarify. Listreveal is a tool to efficiently reveal (as the 
name says) and edit (should I rename it?) tiddlers that can be listed (as 
in *filtered*). I would call this a collection of tiddlers but NOT a 
document per se. Of course I used it to create documents myself e.g. work 
reports or todo lists – documents about stuff that can be listed.

The similarity of NotoWritey and listreveal is that they live inside a 
tiddler. In my concept for documents on the other hand, I tried to optimize 
the reading experience by displaying the content of many tiddlers without 
displaying ANY (visible) tiddlers. And I found a TW concept simpler than 
displaying the content of many tiddlers inside another tiddler ...

Ultimately I came to the conclusion, that a *story* should be a document. 
So based on work from Jan I made a concept more than a year ago:
https://tid.li/tw5/test/concept.html – this has just been updated to TW 
5.1.22 now, but has been work without progress for a long time, might have 
bugs and surely has an awful lack of documentation.

Jan had developed a tool to mange stories (in the meantime others might 
have done that too), which I adapted to my needs. The result is called 
StoryAdmin and maybe you could get a glimpse of my mental concept if you 
would read the readme at 
https://tid.li/tw5/test/concept.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2FJR-telmiger%2FStoryAdmin

I use tags to create a table of contents, but I use stories to save 
documents. This way, tiddlers in a wiki can be compiled (re-used) in many 
different documents. In my book example you can load the whole story (then 
the document is the book) or you can load one chapter (then the document is 
like a few pages copied from a book).

I hope you find this interesting.

Cheers,
Thomas
