Hi Mark ( and others ) I need to clarify what I have written below as it's not quite accurate and I need to clarify WHERE and HOW exactly tiddlywiki renders so crisply I had a few friends "push back" on my enthusiasm regarding the less than perfect delivery of tiddlywiki on OLDER iphones, so I made the adjustment to delivery using the power of 2 alternative hosts that render documents and HTML properly.
When the TW file is hosted and shared via *padlet.com* (GoogleAPI cloud) there a viewer in play that manipulates the HTML file - and so does *Dropbox* An ( very incomplete ) example that I current re-creating can be found here - https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/32228399/d4a0eb1d1751fae680bd55ccde9abaa5e86e929a/220aafd2f907766559569637d5a2db4b.html which is padlet hosted ( which I suggest checking directly then saving locally iphone Offline Reading facility - that few know - but guess that most of you luminaries have it as 2nd nature. ( just in case - I've posted this up quickly - http://offlinereading.pen.io/ ) no logins required.. Reading offline is perfect and very handy for BOOKS - which is my current obsession. Thanks to Ton Gerner I have almost nutted out the TW eBOOK "Readonly" version and will upload for inspection once complete ... keep in context it may be a little left field for some one you - but it's about the ability to present cleanly and quickly. Seriously - you can write / copy up a book into TW - convert to readonly ( I aint fast at that yet ) then "publish via padlet or "Public" Dropbox in minutes - oh - and finally - to my joy - delivering via iphone / iOS allows for the use of any of the font sets within iphones / ipads -- whichcreates a great impression....( check iosfonts.com ) cheers all.
