I have been using TWC since 2011, over the years making it my single main
documentation repository for all of my IT notes and documentation. As TWC
had had more and more browser specific issues with javascript problems,
save difficulties and everything else, I decided maybe it is time to look
at upgrading to TW5. I have done a couple of hours of reading and found
the upgrade assistant. I tried that and of course it now wants me to
upgrade each tiddler as I open it to convert the classic tiddly markup to
the new. The problem is, It totally scrambles the formatting of every
tiddler. As an IT person, I have made extensive use of the {{{ ... }}}
markup for blocks of code. These are all pretty much illegible after the
"upgrade". So now it appears that I have the choice on whether or not I
want to manually reformat between 600 and 700 tiddlers, stick with the
growing pains of TWC, or just punt and use another tool.
Is there a simple, single document or sticky thread that contains
instructions for moving from the classic platform to the 5 version? And
before someone says to search and read all of the messages already here, I
do not have time. My boss is paying me to administer databases and
servers, not dig into the intricacies of jason, css, and node,js. I am
already regretting the time I invested in learning classic tiddly markup
and plugin architecture as that is now worthless.
I have done some searching of the Google Group and seen some threads about
further development of upgrade tools similar to what I am looking for. Can
anyone give a status or timeframe on these?
I apologize for the tone of frustration in this post, but time is limited
and I am not wanting to do much tweaking or development within the
platform. I am just a user, by no means technically illiterate, who just
wants to take almost six years of accumulated tiddlers and seamlessly
upgrade them to the new format.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can hopefully give me and Happy
New Year.
