Hi, Monique! What you're talking about is transclusion (1), which is very easy indeed. Some basics: <<tiddler "YourTiddler">> - shows the content of the entire tiddler <<tiddler "YourTiddler##SectionName">> - shows a specific section of a tiddler <<tiddler "YourTiddler::SliceName">> - shows a specific slice of a tiddler <<tiddler "YourTiddler/PartName">> - shows a specific part of a tiddler. Note that quotation marks are not mandatory, but they are required if tiddler, section, slice or part name contains spaces. Also, instead of quotation marks, you can use [[ and ]].
Sections start with ! !SectionName or !!SectionName or !!!SectionName Slices look like this: SliceName: SliceContent or |SliceName|SliceContent| The second is actually a table, so if you have a table with glossary term in one column and definition in another, you can use that. Parts look like this: <part PartName>PartContent</part> For parts you need Udo's PartPlugin (2). You can also transclude like this: Create YourTransclusionTiddler which contains the following: "This $1 is very &2." Then you can do this: <<tiddler "YourTransclusionTiddler" with:"fruitcake" "good">> The result: "This fruitcake is very good." As for popups with explanations, take a look at Saq's AnnotationsPlugin. Also, in case you haven't discovered it yet, Eric's TiddlyTools (4) contains a gazillion of extremely useful tools and Udo's ForEachTiddlerPlugin (5) is very useful as well. On TwHelp (6), you can find plenty of useful examples and explanations and, of course, on this group as well. :D w (1) http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Transclusion (2) http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#PartTiddlerPlugin (3) http://tiddlywiki.squize.org/#AnnotationsPlugin (4) http://www.tiddlytools.com (5) http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#ForEachTiddlerPlugin (6) http://twhelp.tiddlyspot.com/ On Feb 16, 3:43 pm, techwriter_mjs <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, TiddlyWiki community, > > You've already answered so many of my questions recently, but I have > another one -- is there a way to include the same text in multiple > tiddlers? > > For example, I'd like to include a bunch of terms-and-definitions in > both a Glossary tiddler and a GettingStarted tiddler, and I certainly > don't want to have to maintain the list in two places.
