Hello everyone. Today I have probably quite complicated concept and I think it needs a bit of brainstorming. I'll describe it below and the questions are once more: what possibility of implementation can you think of, especially among existing plugins; and are there any ideas of simplifying the concept for implementation.
It is about a) way of thinking and b) writing and reading the ~text. Writing: distinguishing. When I write a text, it's a usual situation if there appear questions about things I write (if I think carefully); or things to do or a proposal about some existing project; or just an idea (which either will remain an idea or gets it's realization) or .. There appear things that I want to highlight. Some other examples: things that are not clear, information from some sources which should be checked, terms, just plugin descriptions.. The common thing is that a) this things imply some metadata, b) metadata consists of somewhat common to all the "categories", is it a question or information "from outside"; and c) it is not seldom if there's no need to highlight them visually (or vise versa, it's better to add a display:none; property). However, it is usually desired to write some metadata the next moment I wrote a piece of a "category". Reading: aggregation. Now when I read the text (or perhaps I don't even want to see the text itself) I usually want to get fast access to the set of categories in one of the following senses: a) just rereading and orginizing. You know, question is a good thing, but at least I need to decide whom I'm going to ask it to [sorry, if my eng grammar got twisted here]. Or things to do: I need to decide what I'm going to do this Monday (at least if everything goes right, you know)). So I need to add some "tags"/"properties" to the categories; or just make a list of them (the Monday one). b) end reading. When I meet Jonny and Jonny, two grand specialists in banks [(c), Fistful of Dynamite], I think "aha, there were some question for them!" and want to read the questions which are addressed to them. Cleaning. Sometimes questioins and things to do get topical or of interest no more, so I delete them in the text and it is natural to imply that they disappear as specimens of a category. Afterall if the thing to do gets of it's own value, I can add a tiddler which describes some aims (or interests in the case of questions) and add the thing to do to the specimen of the aim category. So what I do mean is automatical remove of the category specimen description (or metadata, as I called it above). Implementation. No it's the painful part) As for now, I only can think of WikiWord classes (which being used in a tiddler make a reference to, perhaps nonexisting, tiddler of a category). For example if I mark smth with a ToDo class, I can see in the "ToDo" tiddler a reference to the tiddler which __contains__ the thing to do. It is, of course, a very poor implementation: it only allows to distinguish and allows an ugly possibility of "end reading" ) Well, here my thoughts end and I would appriciate any of yours. XD Especially if they help to implement this. Joking aside, I suspect this would need much efforts to do this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
