@Tones just as background, the reason this works is because the edit-text
widget is being used via a view template which is not dependent on the
target tiddler and thus does not need to be refreshed. You can directly tag
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body with $:/tags/ViewTemplate and it would work.
The approach I've taken in one of my wikis is to have a toggle button in
the tiddler view toolbar which switches between edit and view mode by
toggling qualified state tiddlers. Switching to edit mode is equivalent to
hiding the body and showing the editor. The advantage of using state
tiddlers is that you aren't modifying the content tiddler just by switching
to edit mode and back.
In terms of styling checkboxes, I prefer to use buttons in the toolbar. I
am not that fond of checkboxes in general and when appropriate I style them
as toggle buttons as well. You can see this in the settings tiddler of
Streams. If that is of interest to you it has a separate style sheet
extracted from my UI components library.
Cheers,
Saq
