I think it is a pretty modular setup. Heck, if you wanted to specify some custom colors, you could put colour codes instead of colour names, like #FFFFFF. We could probably simplify that with the help of a data tiddler. That could be a fun exercise. > > The thisStyle line is just the CSS for the dot shape etc, correct?

That CSS line is my typical way of dynamically putting together an inline style.

Hard for me to fathom the intertwingled breadth and depth of everything you might be thinking. Play with that wikitext with a few of your tiddlers, and see what you think.

For the circle to happen, there has to be some text in there. I would type in spaces, but HTML automagically removes spaces unless they are specified with that special HTML code for space character.

Let's say a semi-colon. So your colour line would look something like *pnk;pnk;pnk;yel;yel;yel * (i.e. pink and yellow) The *split[]* would need changing to *split[;]* >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
