Mark,
This actually seems to work really well. I always like to return the favour
so perhaps you will find this interesting and its implications.
Place the following in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate
\define myregexp() ^\w+?\.\w+?\.\w+?$
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>is[missing]]" variable="missingTiddler"
>
<$list filter="[{!!title}regexp<myregexp>]">
Tiddler is missing and in w3w format<br>
</$list>
</$list>
<$list filter="[title<currentTiddler>!is[missing]]" variable=
"missingTiddler">
<$list filter="[{!!title}regexp<myregexp>]">
Tiddler is in w3w format<br>
</$list>
</$list>
Now if a tiddler has a title of the form word.word.word the above will
display according to if it exists or not.
Why is this so interesting?
If someone comes to my online wiki using a link such
as mywiki.html#test.w3w.example
they will open the tiddler mywiki.html#test.w3w.example if it exists
if it does not exist they will presented with the missing tiddler, which I
can code to have a button appear on it, to help the user create the tiddler.
This provides a way to guide a user into creating a tiddler that does not
exist by a title they provide, that meets a naming standard. It could be
firstname.surname
Regards
Tony
