My Idea would be this, > > I would essentially (want to) define some markup which is recognized as such "tabbed inline choices", which can be displayed as inline or as block level elements. The simple trick behind it would be to start with a new line and then a blank and then a character you normally do not expect, like a dot.
.1st Choice Some choice content, describing it. All available choice titles of that level would be displayed as html titles to the entire choice. By default a choice is rendered inline right behind the text that precedes it, not as a block level element (like a tab). A choice might even contain a... !Heading ...although the section content would probably be meaningless when asked for via the <<tiddler>> macro. .2nd Choice This one contains a list... *The choice titles must be unique **to later be able to extend with search and replace **this makes your wikitext more readable ..1st Sub Of 2nd Choice Add another little dot and the thing is a subchoice to the second choice. Note how this starts with a blank line which essentially renders it on a new line instead of inline. ..!2nd Sub Of 2nd Choice Of course we would always want at least two choices, don't we? Notice the exclamation mark before the title which would show this choice initially even though it is listed second! . And finally just the triggering markup but without anything following but a new line in order to end the sequence. To me this looks like the least markup you could probably have. Here's an example: I like fruits, especially .Apples apples! They are so yummy. .Bananas bananas! I just love how yellow and mushy they are. ..Platanos There even are those south americain platanos which are especially cool when cooked. ..Baby Bananas Those tiny baby bananas always give me the chills. . As I said above, unlike tabs, I would always render a choice inline, so if you wanted your choice to be rendered on a new line, you would have to prepend a blank line to the choices body. I would say the markup could not be any simpler. Obviously, choices need their own css wrapper so you can easily spot them in your storyline. Once you hover them, they would highlight a little more and a simple click on your choice would toggle the thing. The little exclamation mark prepended to a choices title could be used to persist choices. So, when you reopen the tiddler, you would see the storyline reflecting the choices you last made. I guess the ultimate coolness would be a little overlay menu displayed when you hover a choice that allows you to * add another choice (making it default) * edit the choice you currently see * delete a choice So much for brainstorming... to have this all working is quite another feast. Please don't get your hopes up too high, any time soon. Tobias. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
