Thanks, Miguel! That will make my project a LOT easier.
One further question just came to me though. We talked about putting each
"verse" (e.g. Matthew 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, etc.) as its own tiddler and calling
them all into a single ordered tiddler. Is there some way to create the
same end result, except having each "verse" be called from a separate local
text file, rather than a unique tiddler? That would also make my project a
lot easier as there are going to be a LOT of individual "verse" tiddlers
and I would like to keep the filesize of my tiddlywiki as minimal as
possible.
I read that I could call data from one tiddlywiki to another (didn't look
too in-depth to see how difficult it was), so I suppose I could always
create one tw for "verses" and one for "chapters," but that could be a lot
more complicated than simply having one "source folder" where all the text
remains constant, and simply have tw manage and manipulate that text in the
way the reader wishes.
Thanks so much for all your help. I'm SO glad I chose TiddlyWiki for this
project. It seems to have every option available that I require.
