Indeed. For your purposes, ExternalTiddlersPlugin would *not* be the
right fit. That plugin allows you to keep content in other TWs AND/OR
external text files, and then *render* that content via the
<<tiddler>> macro by using an external file/URL reference instead of a
local tiddler title reference. Note: content loaded in this fashion
does NOT pull in tags or custom field values from the external
document. Only the tiddler *text* content is accessed.
In contrast, LoadTiddlersPlugin is an "importer". It pulls tiddler
content from other TW documents and adds them to the current
document. Once imported, those tiddlers are full participants in all
the local TW functionality, and include all their tags, custom fields,
create/modification dates, author info, etc. If you also install
TemporaryTiddlersPlugin, then you can have LoadTiddlersPlugin
automatically add the "temporary" tag to the imported tiddlers, so
that they will NOT be stored in the local file when that file is
saved.
