-- The snapshot plugin does not generate the links of the table of contents
plugin properly. Nor does it export all the linked files/images to a
separate directory so that it can be made independent and portable as a
chunk of files that can just be uploaded as a website.
Then I want to add social media tags like that for facebook, linkedin
etc. Also I can add ads. These things are done and customized by the
template and configuration file so it can be very flexible and by just
tweaking the template and configuration file you can get a entirely
different site.
It may be possible to do all these things in the snapshot plugin and
it also allows custom css, but I have no experience or idea on how to write
or use those things so I wrote the script in Lua. So it also allows anyone
using it to add a plugin function to my script to do almost anything with
the pages.
I was thinking to make the script open source but it seemed that
people who use tiddlywiki are familiar with writing extensions and dealing
with css so I saw no requirement for it.

-- The lua script just reads each HTML file generated for each tiddler by
the snapshot plugin and then repairs the table of contents, relocated all
the linked files and fixes their links, then it does all the
customizations that I have specified in the configuration file. All this
content is placed in the template HTML file that I provide.
