Hi Raymond > Having played about a bit with the offered suggestions, it looks like TiddlyWiki cannot readily export a body of tiddlers into individual discreet files. At least, not yet. Too bad. Something to keep looking for.
Just to be clear, TiddlyWiki doesn't support exporting multiple tiddlers from the standalone HTML file configuration. The reason is that the browser doesn't really support the idea of downloading multiple files (except by packing them into a single ZIP file). But you can easily export tiddlers as discrete individual files using the Node.js configuration (since Node.js supports ordinary file APIs). In fact, under Node.js, individual tiddlers are stored independently in separate files anyway. This is done for the reason you state in your original post: it provides future proofing by ensuring that your data is accessible at all times. Best wishes Jeremy.
