Hi Charlie, Yes, you have described well what I am trying to do.
No, I don't need an "Internet archive" style list of what the content used to be. The button will stamp a reference to the chapter I am currently reading (eg, [[Guns, Germs and Steel (Diamond) ch 4]]) into a note tiddler, along with other text immediately preceding and following. When I start reading a new chapter I will update the "Current chapter" tiddler. So the content is not important enough to warrant a log of previous content. Blessings.
