But then I would sometimes qualify, responding to users, with a "but it's
going to cost ya."
With a soupçon of (i.e. a whiff) "just because we can do it doesn't mean we
should."
I'm thinking some javascript would be necessary. Javascript and I do not
along get.
I do have thoughts about doing this via pure/pristine TiddlyWiki magic.
- One would involve a "process this tiddler's content" button to parse
through the entire content of the tiddler's text and then turn into fields
whatever looks like fields. So not at all on the fly.
- The other would wrapping every field with a transclusion (using your
example: {{value@fieldname||MakeField}} ), which would plop a button right
there for you to press on (after save of a tiddler) which would create the
field in the tiddler and put the value in the field. From that point on,
the transclusion would display the value from the field instead of a
button. Again, not on the fly.
- A macro could be used instead, but it would be the same result, so
just a matter of personal preference re transclusion versus macro *(I
always go transclusion unless there is a technical benefit to go macro
instead*)
Just like putting [[This New Tiddler]] in the text of some tiddler does not
automatically create that non-existent "This New Tiddler" until one
manually clicks on the link (i.e. manual intervention required to actually
create the tiddler), the same goes with fields: manual intervention
required. That seems like a smart thing to me security-wise. If full
auto-creation of tiddlers and fields could happen, then imagine some
malicious code madly auto-creating tiddlers and fields in a TiddlyWiki to
the point of effectively causing a "denial of service" attack, totally
locking/killing your TiddlyWiki.
With javascript, I'm betting it could be done. But I'm thinking it might
not be such a good idea.
