Here's a bit of historical context........... Intra-tiddler addressable content (sections) was originally added to the core as a quick extension of the <<tiddler>> macro handler so that selected *parts* of tiddlers could be embedded in other tiddlers. This allows people to create 'configuration' tiddlers with comments and other 'non-transcluded' content, like this: ------------------------------ [[MySettings]] This part of the tiddler content is instructions about what to enter into the "message" section below !message this is message text for transclusion into some other tiddler !end ------------------------------ which is then used in some other tiddler like this: <<tiddler MySettings##message>> Of course, once people got used to transcluding sections of tiddlers, they wanted to use that same section syntax to do other things, such as using the section as an anchor point for auto-scrolling. I originally added section link handling as a minor TiddlyTools CoreTweaks item that simply added the auto-scrolling and nothing else. Of course, the old adage "give them an inch and they'll ask for a foot" applies and, as a few more section-related features were added the CoreTweak, it was eventually migrated to the a full standalone SectionLinksPlugin. Of course, *some* of this could have been directly to the TWCore but, given that the functionality was already successfully implemented as a plugin, it was not seen as being essential for incorporation into and update of the TWCore. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
