I have a very unhelpful answer: It plugs into boot.js between lines 1983 and 1996 (https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js)
You could argue that anything that uses boot.js and bootprefix.js to start up is a tiddlywiki. I don't think that it is a useful argument, but the actual base of what tiddlywiki is is a method of loading modules that have a specific format. By themselves those two files don't do anything useful, but the idea is very similar to how the linux kernel works, and, not coincidentally, the structure I used for the code in the robot I work with. What is probably a more useful argument is that anything website or file loaded in a browser is a browser plugin. The boot scripts for tiddlywiki are run by the browser and create the structure for loading and manipulating tiddlers. So the core is a plugin, even in the sense of an optional feature, for tiddlywiki. The tiddlywiki wouldn't be able to do much that is useful without an alternate core plugin but it would still have the parts that make it a tiddlywiki on the back-end at least. The core plugin adds the visible parts like filtering and wikitext parsing, you don't have much without them, but they are very definitely added onto the existing system created by the boot scripts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
