Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to wonder if I was just being so stupid it wasn't worth responding to. :)
I will give your suggestion a try, hopefully it works and brings to a close over a week of trying to figure it out, including installing third-party node profiling tools to get more insight into what is going on under the covers. Ultimately, the use case I am trying to get to with TW5 in this instance is to replace using something like Pelican for generating my static web site and just use TW instead. Getting the site title and subtitle into the sidebar were the first step. TOC will be the second step. The final step will be figuring out how to get the "tag buttons" for tiddlers to be anchors with appropriately transformed URLs on a static page (right now the buttons show up and onhover causes the pointer to change to indicate they're clickable, but obviously clicking on them does nothing). I have been looking into that. I presume figuring out a way to replace button widgets with link widgets in the static template is my main hope. But before I dirty this thread more, I will give it a go and if I have specific questions around that will post a different thread. I also have a small "bug" in a TW documentation tiddler I plan on filing a pull request once I get a bit of time. It is related to a bug I filed a few months back. Anyway, if I can get those three pieces in place, then I think using TW to be a static site generation tool will be easy, and I plan on documenting and publishing how as I go. Thanks again.
