I'm afraid I can't help with your specific problem, as I've never tried to use custom fields in TW. This is actually a fairly advanced topic for someone new to try to do, so I'd suggest you spending some time getting to know the basics before something like this. Most non-technical people can usually get up to speed within a hundred hours of mucking about, people with programming experience much more quickly.
Someone else might be willing and able to answer your specific question, but I suspect they'll need more detailed information. To start with, what do you mean by "formatting" - like, bold, italics etc? It would also be helpful if you posted a few sample lines of data from the source of what you're trying to bring into TW, and if it isn't obvious, explain what the various fields mean and how you'd like them to display, or how you intend to use them in TW. Hope this helps. . . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
