Hi Mark. In response to "*Does zooming of TW on Safari on i-devices work appropriately*?"
A definitive YES. I have uploaded a brief test version of the the TW5 version of Spiritual Quest to the cloud find the *Tiddlywiki HTML file* here : https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/32228399/e1d58c96f4c59316913ced53cddce460db9891f5/fe1ac6529f26949ac6be33ee187fe8c0.html - open it on iphone USING Safari and see it live . - More importantly - while open - BOOKMARK IT - the switch iphone SETTINGS to Airplane Mode ( it saves the file automatically to your phone now ) - and while still offline - close the tab - then open the Bookmark you just created = perfect rendition and it saves everything as it's just the ONE HTML that was downloaded so, as long as images are imported and save as tiddlers, its all there. - neat and clean example screen grabs <goog_992976392> - https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/32228399/aac1871a48cebaf77c4f962481dfdce333f8bd9b/69525ccd4d0bbcb5ccc8fd79d4ce6b5d.jpg - https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/32228399/5deffcb9440ff3a6d2c2f74edb7ee9b354ced548/d22db914557d90d3dc219efe6a57e3c2.jpg ( will obviously appear oversized on desk/lap -top but perfect on iphone ( BETTER ) than my PressBook ePub version Major differences : - Scroll down each page / chapter / tiddler - rather than thumb or tap sideways through pages - Which has the advantage of faster back-tracking within same chapter - But requires END OF TIDDLEr ( CLOSE TIDDLER button to be handy THERE rather than scrolling back to the top ) - Feels more concise as this format of one chapter to one (long) page means 50 pages rather than 1100 !!!!! ( in full edition of ebook ) - THERE IS FAR LESS scrolling ( due to fewer page turns ) and FEELS more cohesive - In TW5. Navigation has to be changed - I am adding a TOC tiddler + top and bottom tab type links - There is NO bookmarking tab as in ePUBs top right of page There's more but you get the gist of it in the links provided I'll be open - I do need help as I am under the pump and what I can offer to you or anyone else who can help me get the" simple-for-you-guys but tough-for-me" edits done - attribution in the eBook if you like - and contribution to the TW fund. Unsure what the protocol in this group is for sharing info - so i can be found on twitter @magillamax cheers John On Monday, March 7, 2016 at 6:33:36 AM UTC+11, Mark S. wrote: > > Just curious.
