Sylvain et al.. A dump of related methods/knowledge
The common way of creating a string containing actions widgets is in a macro; \define myactions() <$action.... <$action.... etc... \end Then use actions=<<myactions>> or <$button ... <<myactions>> </$button> Actions always need a trigger, the most common being a button. Because this is the case the Button widget also supports messages and actions. - Action send message is a way to to do the same as message= in a button, in a separate action. - Some messages need to be wrapped in a fieldmangler widget to work https://tiddlywiki.com/#FieldManglerWidget - ie add/remove fields and tags Inside a button you can use a list widget to programaticaly generate actions widgets or a call to action widget macros for each tiddler in a list, thus the button can be used to trigger actions that apply to many tiddlers. A list of buttons <$list.. <$button.. actions= <<actions>> </$button> </$list> A button that operates on a list <$button.. <$list.. <<actions>> </$list> </$button> Finally, The new toggle operator can be simulated using two buttons, with only one visible at a time. The two state on/off can invoke as many actions as you want. Adding, removing logging, messaging etc... Buttons are superior to checkboxes in many ways, and the icon could be a checkbox (ticked/unticked) to look like one anyway.
