Among the tiddlytools I've used the most were the Quick Editor tools. I've been looking at standins until such time as tiddlytools is updated for TW5. Among the items I've looked at is the Codemirror plugin. http://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/codemirror/ Following the link http://codemirror.net/ it looks like it ought to be able to do a good deal more like search and replace. You couldn't prove that by my experience. As close as I can tell, it adds line numbers.
The Tiddlywiki documentation for this plugin boils down to "Try editing the tiddler LoremIpsum <http://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/codemirror/#LoremIpsum> to try out the editor." Given that the visually obvious difference from the Tiddlywiki editor is minimal, this isn't helpful. The Codemirror site's documentation appears to be written in English but once you get past the opening page strikes me as being almost incomprehensible. Is there someone out there who is using the Tiddlywiki CodeMirror Plugin on Firefox in a Windows environment who can tell me if this plugin actually does anything helpful? If this plug-in is really just for Linux systems, then could we update the documentation to say as much? I've watched the group here for some time and there seems to be a generic issue here. I hope I don't offend anyone but a lot of the Tiddlywiki documentation seems to be written by insiders for insiders. I'm sure Danielo and Eric and many of the others understand what is being said but there seem to be far to many people who are mystified by it. And I'll wager that most would be users never get far enough to even find this group. As an experiment, try handing a copy of Tiddlywiki to your mother (or someone else you wouldn't describe as a "power user") and see how long they last. The documentation should be pitched at their level. Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
