Makes sense. It should be possible to produce a TiddlyWiki for interactive access while also generating an ordinary, linear HTML document consisting of those same tiddlers threaded together into a logical ordering. That way you could have your cake and eat it -- you'd be sidestepping concerns about the non-linearity of TW. > I started the process of getting my supervisors and the University to see > the benefits of this idea and hope that they will agree for me to be able > to do this.

(e.g. will TW cope with stuff that is usually a 150 page document?) Shall I continue in here or should I start a new thread. I am not familiar with the code of practice in this community. It's usually better to start a new topic with a subject line that will be helpful to other readers.
