Mohammad, By "Tobias Beer's method" do you mean the one here: https://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Conditional%20Summary ?
That's quite similar to what I use. In fact, I like to create visually distinctive ViewTemplate sections for various fields, iff the fields are populated. Since I often use tiddlers to hold excerpts, and want to put nothing in the text there field apart from the excerpt itself, a conditional view template for the "notes" field -- displaying in a contrasting box below the text content if and only if I've added notes -- was the first such field-based auto-include that I found indispensable. -Springer On Friday, August 13, 2021 at 7:43:09 AM UTC-4 Mohammad wrote: > Springer > > > On Thu, Aug 12, 2021 at 4:01 AM springer <springer...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Soren, >> >> In your "better indexes" essay you write: >> If we do have the full text included in each locus, we may want to write >> a summary anyway and store it along with the full text: this way, we’ll be >> able to create an outline later and more easily see what parts of the >> document we’re hopping between. >> >> And it reminds me how certain enlightenment texts were printed with a >> running outer-margin summary distilling key points (and of course the >> cognitive work of spelling out those side-notes is considerable!).
