It's been quite a while since I built that TW document, but as I recall, I started from http://shakespeare.mit.edu/ (as noted in the title of the document). Then, I picked a play.. say "Hamlet": http://shakespeare.mit.edu/hamlet/ and then downloaded the "full play" (from the link on that page): http://shakespeare.mit.edu/hamlet/full.html The HTML on that page is in a very consistent format, like this: <H3>ACT I</h3> <h3>SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.</h3> <p><blockquote><i>FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO </i></blockquote> <A NAME=speech1><b>BERNARDO</b></a> <blockquote> <A NAME=1.1.1>Who's there?</A><br> </blockquote> <A NAME=speech2><b>FRANCISCO</b></a> <blockquote> <A NAME=1.1.2>Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.</A><br> </blockquote> I then used some simple regex matches to split the HTML source into separate Act/Scene tiddlers, e.g., [[Hamlet 1.1]] each tagged with "scene" and the play name (i.e., "hamlet"). Then, I applied another few regex matches to convert the dialog within each scene from HTML to TW wiki syntax, where: <H3>...</H3> becomes "!!!..." <i>...</i> becomes {{dir{...}}} <A NAME="speech..."> becomes {{who{...}}} and <A NAME="1.2.3"> becomes {{ASL 1_2_3{...}}} !!!Elsinore. A platform before the castle {{dir{FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO}}} {{who{BERNARDO}}} {{ASL 1_1_1{Who's there?}}} {{who{FRANCISCO}}} {{ASL 1_1_2{Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.}}} (note "ASL" stands for "Act/Scene/Line"... not "Age/Sex/Location" or "American Sign Language"!!!) I then added some StyleSheet CSS classes for .dir, .who, and .ASL to display the dialog and stage directions in a "readable script" format To show the whole play, I wrote a small "transclusion script", that finds all tiddler tagged with the play name and "scene", and then generates a <<slider>> for each, so that each Act/Scene tiddler is shown as a "Scene N: ..." heading, with the scene content revealed when the slider is clicked. I also used my CommentPlugin/DiscussionPlugin addons to provide two tabs for each play: "Page" and "Discussion", so that the reader of the document could add their own "study notes". The Sonnets are done a little differently. Each Sonnet is stored in a separate tiddler, tagged with "sonnet". I then used my FAQViewerPlugin to provide an interactive interface for viewing the sonnets, with next/prev navigation as well as an integrated text search function (e.g., search for "rose") that filters the list of sonnets, so you can easily flip through the matching sonnets to compare the use of the search term in each. The rest of the document is just my usual TiddlyTools-enhanced TWClassic document with things like GotoPlugin and a StoryMenu with popup lists of the plays and sonnets. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios "Inside TiddlyWiki: The Missing Manual" https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/inside-tiddlywiki-the-missing-manual/x/8816263 Note: the IndieGogo funding campaign has ended, but direct fundraising continues below...
