This conversation has happened many times, but the conclusion has always been the same. The power of tiddlywiki comes from having different tiddlers, you can't have only one tiddler and use what is special about tiddlywiki.
The way to do what you are talking about in tiddlywiki is to have a bunch of small tiddlers that are displayed using a template. You can see an example of this here (https://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlyBook/#Alice’s%20Adventures%20In%20Wonderland), each paragraph is a separate tiddler but they are all displayed inside a single tiddler using a template. So you could gather together the first paragraph of each chapter, or mark the chapters or paragraphs by subject or however you want to do it and then see a list of them that fits whatever criteria you are looking for. Anything that you do that will let you do that in a single tiddler is going to be equivalent to reinventing tiddlywiki with separate tiddlers inside a single tiddler. You will have to have the equivalent of tags and field to give each tiddler metadata so you can sort it, and something like a title if you want to be able to reference a paragraph individually, and it will have text. The problem is an interface problem, we need to make a better interface so that we can write one tiddler and have it automatically split up based on markup (the text slicer plugin sort of does this already), not reinvent tiddlywiki inside a single tiddler. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
