To create the bookmarklet:
(note: these instructions are for Chrome. Similar actions are available
for other browsers, though the menu item and dialog may vary somewhat)
- First, select and copy the code posted by cskrisz to your clipboard:
```
javascript:
navigator.clipboard.writeText(`[[${document.title.replaceAll('|','–')}|${document.location.href}]]`);
```
- Then, right-click on your browser's bookmark bar and select "Add
page..." from the popup menu.
- In the dialog that appears, in the "Name" input, enter something like
"Make a TW prettylink", and in the "URL" input, paste the "javascript:..."
code from your clipboard.
- Press "Save" to add the bookmark to your browser.
- Note that the new bookmark will appear at the end of your existing
bookmarks. You can use drag-and-drop or "Bookmark manager" to relocate the
bookmark within the bookmark bar
To use the bookmarklet:
- Go to any page on any website you like
- Press the "Make a TW prettylink" bookmark
- This will copy the current URL's title and href to your system
clipboard, formatted as a TW prettylink (e.g., `[[Title|URL]]`)
To add the prettylink to your TW document:
- Open your TW document
- Press "+" to create a new tiddler (or edit an existing tiddler)
- Place the cursor in the tiddler's text area input
- Press ctrl-V or right-click and select "Paste" from the popup menu.
done.
