I'm *very* enthusiastic about the new Wikify widget! I was hurting for this feature ages ago when experimenting with generation of timeline SVGs and other visualizations in TiddlyWiki, and now that it's here I might revisit those utilities and kick them up a notch!
I have one minor gripe, for which I have already determined a workaround: When rendering with text output, wiki markup is scrubbed from the input even when those rules are not applied. This makes rendering non-formatted content, such as dynamically generated source code, somewhat more confusing than it should be. Here's a bit of code demonstrating a place where the wikify widget's behavior is troublesome -- I attempt to render some SVG code, here sourced from a variable, and get nothing for reasons which might not be immediately clear. !!Without Backtick <$vars radius=40 svg="<svg width=100 height=100><circle cx=50 cy=50 r=<<radius>>/></svg>"> <$wikify name=svg_code text=<<svg>> > <<svg_code>> <pre><code><$text text=<<svg_code>>/></code></pre> </$wikify> </$vars> The work-around I discovered after some brief experimentation? Enclose the text in `code snippet` or ```code block``` markup as below, so that all content is unformatted. Unfortunately, this will prevent any enclosed transclusions, widgets or macros from expanding in the $wikify widget. !!With Backtick (macro call is not expanded) <$vars radius=40 svg="`<svg width=100 height=100><circle cx=50 cy=50 r=<<radius>>/></svg>`"> <$wikify name=svg_code text=<<svg>> > <<svg_code>> <pre><code><$text text=<<svg_code>>/></code></pre> </$wikify> </$vars> This is far from a show-stopping problem, but it felt worth pointing out. In the long run, I think that the nicest solution for wikifying with text output (especially code) would be a parsing mode which handles only variables, macros, widgets and transclusions. (I would also suggest that this mode preserve whitespace.) Anyway. Keep up the great work, Jeremy, and don't burn yourself out trying to hurry it out the door! -- Evan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
