Ciao all
I hope I am understanding this issue correctly. If I am then I have a
related issue. TW dynamically creates a lot of its content that is not
persistent. In some circumstances this can become a limitation if you
either need to edit the generated content or keep a non-dynamic copy. Here
is a use case:
1 - I produce newsletters about film every week or so. I use a list to
select X Tiddlers for inclusion in that list.
2 - I need to EDIT the RENDERED output Tiddler. I need to add comments and
provide an overview for the readers concerning the topic of that particular
newsletter.
3 - There is no merit in me specially creating Tiddlers to add comments, or
having a comment field to do (2). These additions I make are ONLY for that
one newsletter.
4 - At the moment, unless I'm missing something, I'm forced to manually cut
and paste the rendered HTML before I can edit it. Its not ideal as the HTML
formatting does not always transfer well.
There is a screen scraper plugin that can help a bit with this. Its
useful in that it limits its scrape to the Tiddler in focus, not the whole
screen.
5 - The edited "rendered newsletter" Tiddlers I manually create I keep in
an archive as self contained guides (non-dynamic) to aspects of cinema so I
don't mistakenly destroy them.
Tiddlers that dynamically produce output are great. But sometimes I really
need a permanent copy of the rendered version to work on.
For such a use case how difficult would it be to CLONE the RENDERED version
of a dynamically generated Tiddler to a new Tiddler?
And would not a generic "Clone the Rendered Version of this Tiddler" also
be a solution to David's issue? Or maybe I'm missing something?
Best wishes
Josiah
