The discussion with Tobias concerning my prototype editor https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/udxz8SrnFPY prompted me to drill into Tiddlywiki to decide just how the internal editor's Show/Hide Button worked. While I was there I figured out how to make my suggested Editor Help a part of TiddlyWiki's internal editor. I have updated the file at http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html with the changes and some directions.
Since this involves a core tiddler, it should be done on an Empty wiki where nothing will be lost but time if you do something wrong. This is what I did: 1. I created a Tiddler called Preview <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Preview> that contained just this line: <$transclude mode="block" /> 2. I created a tiddler called Editor Help <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Editor%20Help> that contained the following: ''Select a Help Topic:'' > <$select tiddler="$:/temp/help-browser" default="action-navigate"> > <$list filter='[tag[Editor Help]sort[title]]'> > <option value=<<currentTiddler>> > > <$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/> > </option> > </$list> > </$select> > <hr> > <$transclude tiddler={{$:/temp/help-browser}} mode="block" /> > > 3. I created some Help tiddlers and gave them the tag "Editor Help" The specific tag isn't as important as the fact it matches the filter tag in the tiddler Editor Help <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Editor%20Help>. 4. I edited the core tiddler: $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FEditTemplate%2Fbody>. Specifically in that tiddler, I deleted the line: <$transclude /> and replaced it with a line that read: <<tabs "Preview [[Editor Help]]" "Preview">> Because TiddlyWiki <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#TiddlyWiki> is constantly updating itself, I had to click after each character to re-establish the focus. 5. Saved the tiddler and the wiki. Now when I click the "show preview" button, I see two tabs, one labelled "Preview" and the other labelled "Editor Help." Clicking on the Preview tab shows the preview of the tiddler being edited exactly as before. Clicking on the Editor Help tab gives a Select Box listing the help topics I created. In my case that's Basic Formatting <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Basic%20Formatting>, Images <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Images>, Links <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Links>, Lists <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Lists>, Quotations <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Quotations> and Tables <http://teamkimmel.org/TW518Editor.html#Tables>. You could include any help topic you want and probably all of Tobias' Markup references if desired. It bears repeating: because this involves the modification to a core tiddler, you should perform this on an Empty Tiddler and use care. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
