Hi all
I have yet another idea I think would be helpful in organizing and
presenting ideas efficiently. But as usual, I am not sure how to do it.
My idea is a "new-here-plus-clone-the-parent-tiddler's-title" button. A
viewtemlate button that creates a tiddler tagged with its parent ("Birds"),
and the title it would have if one used the clone button on its parent,
e.g., "Birds 1".
Use case: For fast, easy adding of notes as vertical tabs in an article /
topic tiddler.
1. The parent tiddler will have the vertical tabs macro with
[all[current]tagging[]], so using the button would make the children
tiddlers appear as tabs in the article.
2. Having the parent title be the title of the new tiddler would save me
time in creating unique titles. I could either leave the "1" as is, or
replace it with something specific like "Sparrows" (subtopic) or "Marshall,
103" (author and page #)
3. I would add a caption for the tabs and use [sort[caption]] in the tabs
filter.
4. Why use the caption field?
- Vertical tabs need shorter titles so they are not too wide
- Many articles would need the same title (definition, history of,
themes, etc) so the tiddler title would need to be distinct, but not the
caption title.
5. Note that this would be a TidldyWiki version of taking notes with the
Cornell notes system: concise topic title on the left, data on the right.
Browsing the tabs would also make it faster to browse the subtopics to find
what you need quickly the second time around.
Anyway, whether you are intrigued or not by my idea, if anyone could share
what I would need to put in a button, basically "new tiddler, tagged with
parent title, title is parent title", that would be a big help. Thanks in
advance. I will share an example of the results with the community as
always.
To those who celebrate U.S. Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving Day! I am
thankful for this community. So many kind, patient people who have answered
questions like this one, and who have created so many cool tools to play
with. Thank you all!
Dave
