I was able to successfully break down an html file with the rendertiddlers syntax. I used the savetiddlers syntax based on advice given earlier in this thread but I understand now that the syntax has been changed. Once again, quite weird. Are you running the serve.sh unmodified? Do you > see any network requests in the Firefox console? > I ran serve.sh unmodified and I'm now able to *edit* tiddlers that generate put requests that are then reflected in the raw .tid files. However, when I *add* new tiddlers, I get an http put request but no filesystem changes reported in the terminal and no added files when searching my directory. Is this an expected limit or am I missing something else?
