I'm not sure what you mean by "the Editor tool bar Transclude option" -
when I open an editor the toolbar
has a set of icons starting with the icon to produce Bold test but I can't
find a "Transclude option" to clarify I'm starting
with an unmodified copy of the TW at tiddlywiki.com
What I want to do is quickly organise a set of tiddlers into a story.
I can get the tiddlers I want on screen and collapse them into single lines
containing the
headers only with the "fold other tiddlers" - but I want to be able to
easily change the order
so I'd like to add an up and down arrow to the collapsed tiddler to change
the position in the
story.
Once I'd got the order right I'd like to save the order in a new tiddler.
Basically I'm creating a tiddler whose content is
{{Some heading}}
{{Some name}}
{{and more}}
But it would be nice to semi-automate the process
Cheers
