Mat,
I have followed the similar lines to what you discuss and your linked
examples.
I am interested in hiding some text area fields from the default edit
fields and presenting different editor for them, similar to you example.
Effectively its only the edit process that stops you using text area, but
failing to allow you save line breaks. I did something with Mohammad some
time ago, and have an example in a production wiki I can look up.
However I am currently expanding my aforementioned autonomous fields into a
new fields editor and display system.
For multi-lines I build a new editor for each special field
<$transclude field=<<fieldname>> mode=block/>
view
''//Add a blank line for a new
paragraph//''{{||$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/person-bio-text/editor}}
to edit
So $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/person-bio-text/editor looks like this; stolen
from core tiddlers.
<$edit-text
field="person-bio-text"
tag=textarea
class="tc-edit-texteditor"
placeholder={{$:/language/EditTemplate/Body/Placeholder}}
tabindex={{$:/config/EditTabIndex}}
><$set
name="targetTiddler"
value=<<currentTiddler>>
><$list
filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/EditorToolbar]!has[draft.of]]"
><$reveal
type="nomatch"
state=<<config-visibility-title>>
text="hide"
class="tc-text-editor-toolbar-item-wrapper"
><$transclude
tiddler="$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body/toolbar/button"
mode="inline"
/></$reveal></$list></$set></$edit-text>
Then all is left is to stop the field being edited in the fields edit part
of edit mode.
I hope to share something more soon.
Regards
Tony
