When I first created HTMLFormattingPlugin (I think it was my second or third plugin, back in 2005), the TWCore did not support *any* native use of HTML within tiddler content. Basic <html>...</html> "embedding" was subsequently added to the TWCore, sometime in 2006 (or perhaps 2007?) so that -- as long as you don't need to mix TW- formatted content (e.g., links to tiddlers, macros, etc.) within your HTML content -- the TWCore allows you to use HTML syntax within a tiddler without needing a plugin. Nonetheless, HTMFormattingPlugin is still very useful because it *extends* the TWCore formatting in two ways: * before the HTML is rendered, newlines are converted to "<br>" to preserve wiki-style line break handling (see HTMLFormattingPluginInfo for more details) * after the HTML is rendered, the resulting DOM elements are recursively scanned for text elements, which are then 'wikified' to expand any links, macros, etc. they contain I suspect the problem you are having is caused by the newlines embedded in the onclick='...' handler within your HTML. The plugin converts all newlines to "<br>", which would create invalid code within the script. Fortunately, you can easily bypass this conversion by using either the <nowiki> or <hide linebreaks> "psuedo-HTML" syntax, as described in the HTMLFormattingPluginInfo. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios ---- WAS THIS ANSWER HELPFUL?
