You don't need JavaScript. What makes you think so? Just because a tiddler contains "macros can also be written as JavaScript modules." doesn't mean a user needs to know JS. This sentence is similar to "TiddlyWiki is written in JavaScript, if you want to expand the core functionality, you can do so". This are the first 2 paragraphs. A macro is a named snippet of text.

If you read the wikitext tiddler and the examples, you may see the difference: http://tiddlywiki.com/#WikiText or http://compare-tw2-tw5.tiddlyspace.com/ may help you out. I recorded the differences that are important for me, there. So this list may be incomplete for you. > If we have to learn to write JavaScript to use it, then is it really even > a wiki still? > As I wrote you don't need JavaScript, to create macros. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
