For why I wanted it to be all wikitext: I was just thinking that it would be better if the packaging tool could be imported into a wiki without having to reload. It isn't a big concern but having to install a plugin in order to export tiddlers from an existing wiki doesn't sound like a good situation. For example, if there is a project leader who had a large task list in a central wiki and someone wanted to put only the tasks they are responsible for into a separate wiki they would have to modify (or copy and modify) the original wiki to use the plugin.
And no, it isn't rude to ask. For most of my work with tiddlywiki I just throw together the first thing that comes to mind so I don't always consider alternatives. Questions often help with that. JSON does have more complex parsing rules than what I have made and would have been a bit difficult to handle using only wikitext, since it is all javascript now json should be just as simple to use as what I am making. One quick reason is that in a normal json format you need to escape certain characters (so : becomes \: to show that it is a literal character instead of a control character), there isn't any reasonable way to do this in wikitext. The format I am using takes advantage of the specific formatting imposed by tiddler fields so the only possible confusion would be in the division between tiddlers. That is why I am using the long strings for those divisions. Since javascript has builtin support for the json format this isn't a problem in when using a javascript widget. I hope to make a more generic version of what you are talking about with the tags defining bundles. Unfortunately this may either require some significant additions to the import/export mechanism or that there are bundle tiddlers created or updated every time a tag is added to a tiddler. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
