That description categorically applies to TiddlyWiki5 when it is run under Node.js to generate static HTML files from a wiki folder that contains individual tiddler files. Being able to operate in that configuration was a significant design goal driving the development of TiddlyWiki5. For example, the main dynamic TW5 site is http://tiddlywiki.com There is a static snapshot of the default tiddlers at http://tiddlywiki.com/static.html Then there are static HTML snapshots of individual tiddlers, for example: http://tiddlywiki.com/static/AllTiddlers.html Try clicking the links in those snapshots and you'll see that they have been mutated to point to the static renderings of each tiddler. > They are better described at "static-page-generator" CMSs; another terms that's been used in the past is "baked instead of fried". TW5 supports both baking and frying :) > So, since a wiki page has to live-render which WikiWords are active links, it can't be baked TW5 renders links according to the status of the target tiddler at the time of rendering. So, the italicised/non-italicised status reflects the state at the time of baking. That's OK, because it's generally better to re-bake the entire file set whenever the underlying tiddler files change.
