Hey all, I'm a new user of TW5 (just joined this discussion group). I've used TW classic a few times in the past and it has been very handy.
I have an idea of how I'd like to manage some notes, and I can do it manually, but it is a kind of a pain. I'm not sure if it is possible to automate it with templates or macros. What I would like is to create many tiddlers that consist of 3 tabs: Summary, Details, Sources. All of these would be containing information on the same topic. I learned from other guides how to do this manually. I create 3 tiddlers, then use the tabs macro to transclude them into one tiddler (using caption fields to get the tab titles I want). The result is exactly what I want. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to automate this. I see I can create new tiddlers from templates with buttons. So I was thinking maybe I can create a template tiddler that has the 3 tabs, then create the tabbed content tiddlers, and all the transclusion would be set up automatically. So any time I create a new tiddler like this, the 3 tabs would need to transclude new unique tiddlers for summary, details, sources. Since the names will have to be unique, it appears some more advanced tricks are necessary to have it transclude different names. Maybe a TextReference can be used to generate the expected tiddler titles to transclude? Maybe each tabbed tiddler can always be the initial tiddler title, with suffix added like ExampleTiddler_Summary, ExampleTiddler_Details, etc. I don't know if this is really the right approach. I'm not sure I quite understand how text references are used so maybe this isn't the right application. I was also reading some examples of using system tiddlers to determine what to transclude. I feel a little out of my depth at this point since I'm not quite sure how do this. I appreciate any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
