G'day David,
RE: #3: I'm going to throw a curve-ball at you and hope I don't bean you
in the process ...
By the time I hit the submit button, I'm thinking there will already be a
few replies.
Please let me know if I've got this right: for any tiddler you might be
editing, you'd like a button that copies and pastes the actual content of
that moment of the tiddler "Current chapter" into the tiddler you are
editing. i.e. a historical snapshot of "Current chapter" at that very
moment in time. (adorning that content with prefix, suffix, and however
else, that's secondary problem/solution to this primary problem/solution
need.)
When we first talked about this stuff, you wanted the content of "Current
chapter" in a field for new tiddlers. Do I understand correctly that you
now want it instead in the text body of the new tiddler, wherever your
cursor is sitting?
Now the curve-ball. Would it be of any value to have dated/historical
snapshots of "Current chapter" as distinct tiddlers which can be
individually transcluded in any number of new tiddlers?
That would only be of value if you would ever like to see all of the
"Current chapter" versions over a span of time and/or if any one version
would actually ever be embedded/included/transcluded in more than one
tiddler. Otherwise, better to have each snapshot existing where you need
it.
