Strangely, I often find myself doing things differently from day to day. Maybe mood-related, maybe because I do like to try things differently to test or firm up my understanding.
When I use something, though, in order to help me sort things out (i.e. getting intertwingularity to submit to my will !), I desperately need consistency. Hence my slow and sporadic attempt to create TiddlyWiki documentation that works for me (https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/cwCkCaiJG_g) For example of an annoyance, the WidgetMessage: tm-modal <https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage:%20tm-modal> documentation tiddler. The top part of the documentation, in the table, defines one of the message's parameters as "*param*". But in the examples, it is clear that the parameter is actually "*$param*" when the message is used with the $action-message widget.. And then, $param is for the title of a tiddler. But in other widgets, "tiddler" is the parameter for the title of a tiddler. And when we look at the parameters for various widgets, sometimes we have parameters with $ prefixes, other times we don't. Inconsistency is confusing. And creating documentation that works for me is slowed down because to get the documentation "right", I find myself having to wrap some of the widgets with macros, and suggesting the use of the macros instead of direct use of the widgets.
