*3) tags for keeping track of excised data for transclusion back into the original* As TonyM explains in Searching Tiddlers with transcluded content <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/SpSVHc1ZLYE/3C36TfRyBwAJ> My understanding is, when you have a main tiddler that brings in smaller pieces by transclusion, tagging those smaller pieces with the title of the main tiddler keeps a reference point. Then if you do a search at some point, and the small tiddler matches the search, but not the main tiddler. You open the small tiddler, but it is not really in its proper context - in reality you want to see it within its main tiddler. How would you find the main tiddler its transcluded into without a reference? If the smaller pieces are tagged with the title of the main tiddler - viola! This is what I understood from TonyM's message. I do think such kind of "direct reference" tags (they are like pointers to where the tiddler is transcluded) could be differentiated from other tags. In fact, it might make more sense to have such "connections maintained" in fields - but updating/maintaining fields feels more cumbersome than tags. Plus - when renaming a main tiddler title - TW can auto rename the tags in its "children." Plus tags are visible. Then I started to try and understand what I had meant by the highly broad and abstract terms of "Groups" and "Categories" - which I believe now I just used to make the list as an idea of having many different kinds of prefixes on tags. Anyway, I tried to define them clearly for myself - looked at the structure of my main TW, my Toc, the tags I was using, and also of the folders hierarchy on my hard drive where I keep all my reference files. I started to write down the answer, and within 10 minutes I was going round in circles. Thus reading bimlas' message made me smile. Perhaps this is not the right way to look at it. I will think about it some more. As for *"what would the outcome be for?"* ... Since tags are being used for different functions, I think I wanted a way to differentiate what purpose the tag is being used for - just like the system tags are. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
