Hi Mark,

I was trying not to be too critical of the information on Tiddlywiki.com as 
I am forever grateful for this tool and all the hard work that goes into 
the development by JR and everyone on here.

When you ask what is it I don't understand, I realise I'm approaching this 
from a different point of view - i.e. I'm going over to the site for some 
instructions in terms of how to do something rather than understand it.

I've seen the result which I want to reproduce in my own wiki  - so how 
do I do that?

I've got no computer/coding knowledge so I'll never really 'understand' how 
it works - I just want to copy & paste and make it happen.

Sorry if that sounds lazy, but I'm sure there are loads of people who come 
across TW with the same aims as me but get frustrated at the simple lack of 
instruction and give up.

Sometimes, all it would take would be a few more explanatory lines to point 
people in the right direction.

But again, I don't want to seem ungrateful.

Anyway, back to your original question, when I had previously pasted the 
text into my wiki, it showed my existing TOC but when I changed 
"TableOfContents" to the name of any tiddler, I was just left with a 
partial version of the existing TableOfContents.

I'll play around with it some more with what you've said.

Cheers
Jon
