To be honest I feel the docs are still pretty slapdash, but I am trying to fill them out when I can and contributions to the docs are very welcome from all Streams users. Before i do tho, i guess i will do best to clarify the intention. The > essential need- much as @Si has already described > <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/gbEHUyX8dc0/m/r1yF5JdXCAAJ> -is > to convert a select (sub)set from one stream of “fleeting notes” to a set > of “evergreen notes” (i.e. appropriately named tiddlers), each one with a > backlink to the source tiddler that spawned those child tiddlers. Then > that source tiddler could be flattened into one note with links to all its > children. > The reason there is no in-built mechanism for flattening a stream is simply because I don't think there is a one size fits all export format. Depending on the content of your streams tiddlers, you may want anything from a simple concatenation to a hierarchical structure. It is important to remember that all the components of a stream are just tiddlers with their relationships maintained via fields. So you can manipulate them just as you would any other tiddlers. I think this is also an area where input from other Streams users would probably be helpful for you and it might be worth starting a new thread asking for input. Note that I don't actually use Streams myself apart from on the odd occasion and neither do I have much detailed feedback on user workflows, so it is difficult for me to provide guidance. Once you know how you want things set up, it is then easier for me to provide input on the implementation part if you run into difficulties. Some examples of exporting/flattening a stream are provided in the FAQ. Also some extra filter operators have been introduced to make it easier to work with the streams tiddlers.
