Dragging (sounds like a dragon) a title link out of an embedded
external site sounds like another tread. Don't take me the wrong way
though. I think it would be a wonderfully marvelous tool. I'm imagining a
time in the future when dragons are everywhere in Tiddlywiki. Alas, I'm
only working on _canonical_uri styling.
I am interested in finding out more about the error you got and why.
If you can detail what you tried, what environment, the error message,
maybe an example? That would help.
Unlike an iframe because _canonical_uri is native to Tiddlywiki. When
adding a _canonical_uri field and* type* you get a tiddler that is a window
to the outside. It becomes fully searchable by first taking the textual
data from the external page or site and putting it in the body of the
tiddler.
Large amounts of text can bloat the wiki and slow it down, but my plan
is to create a zTXt chunk with duplicate words and spaces removed. It would
be hidden because the _canonical_uri field causes the external page to
display instead of the tiddler's text field. It will be much easier then
what I currently do in TWC (long story). My idea of a zTXt chunk converter
is an elusive tool that I know exists somewhere because I have read about
it. I know it uses regular expression but I have yet to learn how to create
a widget or something in Tiddlywiki 5 that auto-magically turns pages of
text into a zTXt chunk.
The amazing part is that Tiddlywiki is like the perfect indexer for my
procedures, documents, internal company web sites, and even external web
sites. It is my plan for my one stop shopping tool at work. We have so many
places to look for information that it makes things difficult. Maybe
someday I'll be able to host it for the company I work for as a multi-user
wiki (I still have to learn node.js).
In summary, Jeremy is a wizard; macros, widgets, plugins, and more are
treasures; And, I'm heading back on my quest in the wonderful and
marvelously magical land of Tiddlywiki 5. Sorry for sounding like a novel.
I'm a treasure seeking adventurer at heart.
