Thanks to Jeremy's help (tug o' the forelock in thanks), I now have the TOC generating correctly in a static sidebar. You can see the very limited results so far here <http://dullroar.com/Home.html>.
Following is my "road map" from the other thread, with progress comments: 1. A *simple* sidebar - title, subtitle, simple TOC, a "tag cloud" *that works* (more on that in a bit), some other fixed text (copyright, pointer to TW, etc., so that isn't repeated in every tiddler). I have title, subtitle and TOC working. I have moved the fixed "IP" text to a proper footer element in the template (instead of the sidebar), which is also ultimately where the TW link will go. 2. Per the TOC, I am not looking for a fancy one that expands and contracts - for now I am working on the idea that "static" remains just that, and doesn't have any or much of the TW Javascript magic in it. I have made some other tiddlers, like one called "Categories," that is actually an auto list of tags, So, if the TOC has "Home," "Categories," and a few other things, that's enough. I can hide the complexity behind tiddlers the TOC then points to to do the "heavy lifting" that the expandable TOC does in a "live" TW. This is working. The TOC is currently only two components - one pointing to "Categories" (which are actually a tag substitute) and a link pointing back to the Home page. 3. Get the tag buttons working, probably by generating them not as buttons but as links that are styled the same as the buttons. Personally, I believe the behavior of the current static template (which generates the buttons with CSS that causes them to receive the "clickable" pointer when you hover over them but that do nothing when you click on them) to be a bug in the static CSS if nothing else. This is where I am concentrating now. I can already tell it is not going to be easy. My ultimate goal is two-fold: 3.a Tag buttons in each tiddler/page should actually work. 3.b I would like a simple "tag cloud" in the side bar. 4. I already have a set of tiddlers that I ignore in the main rendertiddlers via a filter and then "pass through" using savetiddler for things like an .htaccess file, favicon.ico, CSS, Javascript I am going to want to embed, etc. That all works just fine. The details are here <http://dullroar.com/Static%2520Pages%2520How-To.html>, which are just an expansion of the static example on the TW5.com site. The .htaccess file is to set Home.html as the default page, so I don't have to have a lame "index" tiddler to be picked up as index.html. The favicon works, etc. 5. I figure I will copy and adapt the alltiddlers template to generate an ATOM/RSS file (I believe someone already did that for classic TW, but haven't seen that for TW5). This is my lowest priority, but will still be a good thing to work out. If I can get all of the above working, I think that's a minimum for a good static site generator that can be a simple blog engine aimed at the likes of Pelican, Bloxsom, et al.
