Well, those values in the table have to come from somewhere. Typically
those would be from fields. I'll demonstrate with one field, and you can
see if that gets you on your way.
Modify your Templatepersontable:
@@.persontable
|>| @@display:block;width:23em;<div class="lightgrey">''[Tiddler-specific
title]''</div>@@ |
|^@@display:block;width:6.5em;{{!!value1}}@@ |@@display:block;width:15em;@@
|
|^@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 2''@@ |@@display:block;width:15em;@@ |
|^@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 3''@@ |@@display:block;width:15em;@@ |
@@
The {{!!value1}} entry will transclude values from a field, "value1". Note
that it won't be bold -- add font-family to your style definition for that.
Now add the field "value1" to your "Person 1" tiddler and put a value in it
(e.g. "Hi There!"). You add fields at the bottom of the edited tiddler, BTW.
Now for the text in your Person 1 tiddler, put: {{||Templatepersontable}}.
The double pipe symbols mean to transclude the tiddler, using the current
tiddler as though it were the template's tiddler. Sorry if that sounds
munged -- just try it.
Now the table will appear and the field will be filled with the value from
the "Person 1" value1 field.
You can even adapt your template so that it will get automatically applied
to any tiddler that has a "value1" field (or some specified tag) without
having to type in the template each time.. But I'm out of time for the
moment.
Good luck!
