I added this to the Toolmap, next to the other two stretch texts plugins mentioned in this thread.
Comments: 1. I like this approach in that the stretch text is a separate tiddler, and the tiddler is easily accessed by the button, to edit it. 2. The magnifying glass with the plus and minus was a good icon choice. 3. To each his/her own re: choices, but if I were to do this, I would have only the magnifying glass visible, then when you click that, I would have all but the button to open the tiddler. Why? a) when reading, the less clutter and confusion, the better. b) when you open the stretch, if you already have the tiddler title link there, the other button to the view mode of the tiddler is redundant. 4. Are the bullets also redundant? The icons seem to function as the bullet, standing at the head of the text as they do. The bullets and text don't align anyway. You might think about creating a class for special lists where the bullet is removed entirely. 5. Thank you for your willingness to share your at times very personal TiddlyWiki. It is a goldmine of ideas, nicely organized. I now want to read through it! 6. How did you get the tag colors separated in your Explore tab > Tags tab??? I like that idea a lot. Makes it easy to narrow down the kinds of tabs and check them quickly.
