@Alex I am following this thread with interest. I am wondering if a set of > tiddlers is exported as JSON, then they can be reformed into tiddlers when > imported into a new wiki -- either in bulk or as needed. >
Yes, exactly. To test it, open two browser tabs, one with tiddlywiki.com and the other with tiddlywiki.com/empty. >From tw.com, either export a single tiddler as json (i.e via the regular tiddler toolbar) or use Export All under the sidebar Tools tab. This creates a json file on your computer. You can peek at it using e.g notepad. To import it into tw.com/empty just drag'n drop. Very smooth. This is why I'd love to see tiddler bundles formatted into plain json - anyone could import it in a snap and it would be soooo easy for *really *anyone to make "plugins" sort of. This would also be perfect for "content plugins", i.e to share actual content so the receiver can delete or modify freely after. I have some big ideas for this ;-) > I've really just discovered dictionary and JSON tiddlers, they open up new > possibilities in my mind.

Is it to use it as a dictionary tiddler... but then what would that bring over using the usual field name:value pairs, i.e for reference? In some sense, Jeds Tiddler Bundle thing creates almost dictionary tiddlers. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
