Hi W, I am interested in how you are using wiki in the context of stories and characters. It seems we share an interest in tagging stories. I would be interested in seeing your TW. Perhaps we could learn from a shared approach.
You could two Extended Fields to perform the same job as tagging does in your data structure. I think it will become more difficult if you use tags to keep track of characters and how they appear in the story. Here's how 1) Define fields 'metionedIn' and "appearsIn" in each tiddler by editing the editTemplate 2) Then add the character names to the appropriate fields. -So if Jim appears in "The Farm Story" add Jim to "appearsIn" -If Jim mentions James add "James" to "mentionedIn" You might need some javascript code to create the list. There is help on doing this for custom fields on TiddlyWiki.org [1] using the ForEachTiddler plugin Alex [1] http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Dev:Extended_Fields ps Thinking ahead, you might want to use a tagging convention with 'In' as the prefix. InAppears InMentioned ... so that alphabetic searches will group them together On 16 February 2010 12:39, whatever <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > > I have a wiki about a literary series, which includes stories and > characters.
