Hello! After about 7 years I am considering getting back into using TiddlyWiki again. When Iast I used, it was 2.4.4.
Now I am starting a new TW5 and I am a bit perplexed as to how to deal with line breaks. I'm planning on using my wiki to collect notes clipped from other places, write my own notes, and copy my notes out of TW into other things. I thought that this was the primary function of TW, so this issue has me scratching my head. In 2.4.3, you could simply put a line break in the editor and you got a line break (new line) in the rendered tiddler. In TW5 this seems to no longer be the case. If I have ten lines of text that I copy from one location into a my TW, it all gets put onto a single line. Obviously not good. I can understand formatting like bold, italics, and headings not surviving a copy paste. But line breaks? So I have implemented the solution here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Hard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS As I understand this solution, I'm just tagging all tiddlers that I want to show the same breaks in the editor as in the final doc with a certain class. Now when I paste in ten lines of text into a tiddler I get ten lines in the rendered version. Great!! However, when I copy those ten lines from my tiddly wiki back into another document, they are all on a single line. As well, the breaks are not shown in the preview window. There it is just all one big line. So my questions are: *Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different way I'm supposed to be doing things?* It seems like if TW is supposed to be for keeping notes on things, this is odd behaviour. I thought I should be able to paste things in and cut things out and have them at least keep line breaks. However it seems like TW is now designed to be more a code editor and less a document editor. I realize that the line is necessarily blurry in TW, but in the end the purpose of a TW is not to write code. All the threads on this topic seem to be long and complicated and hard to piece together a solution. I realize this may be difficult since different people may need different solutions. I thought I could start all tiddlers with """. However it seems that this needs to be done on a paragraph by paragraph basis. If I try to make a heading by typing ! title it gets rendered literally. So that solution seems to fall into the "reformat my text every time category." So keeping in mind that I plan to use my TW for collecting text, writing text, and re-using text, *what is my best solution?* I really don't want to have to re-format everything I paste into a tiddler. Also keep in mind that I am starting fresh, so that may give more options. I'd even be fin with a solution that involved copy and pasting through some sort of intermediary system if it was a simple as pasting it in and copying it out. Thanks! I appreciate everyone's contributions over the years I have been away! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
