My objectives :
- install Readonly Theme and Remove all visibility of *sidebar *icons,
tabs, etc - everything ( checking out / testing - not confident yet )
- remove tiddler date stamping ( *unsure of how to * )
- remove tiddler function icons ( OK with this )
- add Table of Contents Tiddler ( OK )
- add extra navigation buttons ( OK )
- add "close Tiddler" button ( OK )
- add "Back to Top" button - due to LONG pages ( thinking I just name
it as such and have a "same tiddler" link for reloading -> *back to top*
! ( OK )
- wish list would be a bookmark tab akin to ePub function - not needed,
maybe later.
