They are shortcuts, because the long version would be way to much to type ;)

The core UI eg: needs to assign some HTML classes to style UI-elements. One of them is a styling "tab-buttons". In normal cases a developer would use a class name like "tab-buttons" ... BUT ... Since TW is highly tweakable, and our users are changing almost every aspect of the UI, the "risk" is high that .tab-buttons would be used by a user. So if "the core" UI would use the same name, it would interfere with a user defined setting. .... That's why tiddlywiki base classes use a prefix: tc- ... for HTML classes. Which also means. Users *should _NOT define new_ *tc-, tm-, tw-, tv- ... tx- prefixes. Only use them. As a plugin author I use my own "namespace" for new stuff: Just follow the link <https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/link-to-tabs/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fwikilabs%2Flink-to-tabs%2Fstyles>. In the early days TW used tw- as a prefix for many different things. eg: tw-tab-buttons, tw-navigate, ... and so on. ... AS you can see this can get confusing for core devs now, since it mixes "class" and "message" names ... That's why the naming was changed in 5.0.16-beta <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Release%205.0.16-beta>. Hope that clarifies things a bit :) have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
