Manish, I just replied in the other thread. But I'll recap briefly here, for folks coming across this thread: the best approach is probably to have one excerpt per tiddler, and put only the quoted passage itself in the body of the tiddler. Then use fields as needed for the metadata attached to each excerpt, and a tag such as "quote" or "excerpt" if you like.
If you use the lovely Shiraz plugin <https://kookma.github.io/TW-Shiraz/>, you can then also set up a tiddler for the book (or for the author, etc.) that filters exactly those tiddlers that have the field values you need, and which displays columns for the metadata you care about (caption, page, notes, etc.). One great thing about these dynamic tables is that you can see the whole list/table of excerpts *and* effortlessly drop-down to see the details of any one excerpt as needed. Feel free to follow up! -Springer On Saturday, November 28, 2020 at 12:34:15 PM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > > Dear all > I am relatively new to TiddlyWiki with no knowledge of coding. :) > I have a query on collating the quotes that I take note of.
