Hello folk ...
I've been using TiddlyWiki for quite some time now. It is very
valuable for research notes, project documents and keeping track of
all kinds of 'records' and 'links' and such. My own mini-sub-www web
*lol*
I wanted to ask the list if there are a tool you can recommend to
refactor a TiddlyWiki (.html) file?!
Over time, I find of necessity or chance upon a good idea to improve
how I use TiddlyWiki. It can be quite troublesome when the
'innovation' is really becomes generally useful (or re-usable). The
'trouble' is to retro-fit the my-bight-idea into established
tiddlywiki-s (html files).
Here's a really simple thing I decided to use this week. I have some
tiddlers I call, 'meta-tiddlers'. A very valuable one was called
"footnotes" -- I use transclusion to re-use and share footnotes
between related tiddlers.
Anyway, I decided that 'meta-tiddlers' really should be //different//
from actual information tiddlers. So I renamed "footnotes" to
"+footnotes" -- The meta-tiddlers now use a "+name" convention that
shows their function immediately (works for me).
That means though that I needed to refactor all the older tiddlers
that used the old "footnotes" name a replace all uses with
"+footnotes".
Here's an example so you 'get' and full idea of the opportunity. In
the snippet below, footnotes-see-also is a list of bullet points that
relate to the main topic.
!!! //[[see also|+footnotes]]//
<<tiddler [[+footnotes##footnotes-see-also]]>>
I ensure that I can edit the footnotes-see-also list by placing a
hyperlink in the header for the "see also" section.
When I change the name to "+footnotes", a refactoring tool would need
to change everything that used to use "footnotes" (no plus).
Any ideas? If not. How much work would it take to do 80% of the
solution? And one other thing, would you use an internal TiddlyWiki
macro or command to do this or an external programme or browser
script? (If you were the one doing it?)
Looking forward to answers ... Oh, one more thing. I made a game
attempt with a global search and replace in my plain text editor.
That solution didn't work because the tiddlers are authenticated.
Search-and-replace messed up my original tiddlers.
Have a good weekend!
