Might PapaParse <http://papaparse.com/>be used to "live import" and/or "live conversion" non Wikified content into *individual *tiddlers? Even by simply providing an url? A kind of RSS reader?
I found it in searching info for the following idea, which is independent from PapaParse: Can I make a simple copy-pasting into TW editor be automatically parsed into something nicer, when I save the tiddler? For instance if I copy a html-table from a website, i.e select+copy, this removes all formatting and all that is left is *tab *spaced rows. So... TW should be able to do something with this. Or, even simpler, just a plain text list. Instead of having the parser disregard the linebreaks, I should at least be allowed to choose if I want it to appear as a bullet list. This is actually related to some ideas touched on here <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/tiddlywiki/K9O5eBkIuW0>(see post 11/24/14, the thread starts out with other ideas), about building content communities with lists presented as *topical *"addon stores", e.g *"**url-list: best TW addons for authors"*,or *"thumbnail gallery of * *[img[urls]]"*, etc. An entry in a list for a "top-plugins" could be; |[img[url]]||[pluginname|url]|Description]| or with html markup ...however, with this "automatic parsing" idea, e.g for a simple copy-pasted text, I am hoping the input can be simply imageurl pluginname pluginurl description those are tab spaces, and the parsing would automatically convert things to add htmlmarkup and CSS. And any pre-added wikitformatting woudl be parsed like normal, I guess. So that is when I found the info to PapaParse, It sounds like it for sure would do this, but so much more and so much more powerfully. From what I understand it's purely javascript based and open source. Maybe it's even possible to use it as a streaming RSS/ATOM feed convert-to-TW tool. Put up a TW that displays your favorite feeds... as tiddlers... so that as you read, you can easily add meta data and save stuff. (If there is autolinkification/autoweaving, you could probably build up an incredible referencing database automatically! Whoa!) Could PapaParse be used to stream individual tiddlers from external TWs too? Is we talkin' twederation thingies? Anyway, if anyone else is interested; for the *lighter *ideas I initially had in my search, to convert plain tab-delimited text into nicer tables, I found the following that I intend to look closer at. http://victorwyee.com/js/convert-tab-delimited-text-into-comma-separated-text-with-pure-javascript/ http://ss.johncardinal.com/table-gen.htm http://www.stefan-pettersson.nu/site/table2html/ http://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-html.htm http://www.jafsoft.com/asctotab/ http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/webtools/text_to_html/ http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php https://www.virtualobjectives.com.au/utilitiesprogs/texttools.htm#CSV2HTML <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
