There's not even a clue in the documentation that the user will need to follow up by hand-editing the tiddlywiki.info file. If you're hoping to pour your tiddlers back and forth between modes of running, this is a bit of a speed bump. > It's a neat way to organize things, because then you can call single-file > build targets from the command line with Node & > be sure the single-file Wiki generated will not error out when it is opened > (as those plugins display an error if there is no backend to communicate > with). > > Actually, I just tried this. Even though those two plugins shouldn't be needed to build the stand-alone file, if they are not in tiddlywiki.info the build process will create a zero byte file. On the other hand, having them in the plugin section does not cause the build process to fail nor for the generated wiki to be corrupt. Nor do the plugins appear in the plugin list. So there seems to be no harm in having them present. So ... it seems like for most people having those two plugins automatically inserted into the tiddlywiki.info file would be advantageous for two different reasons. At a minimum, there should be a line or two in the --savewikifolder documentation to explain the follow-up actions that are required. I guess what would be really neat would be a command option that points to a template or model tiddlywiki.info file. There are other things missing from the tiddlywiki.info file also, such as build targets. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
