Dear Olegh, happy 2019 to you too!

Just some loose thoughts as I have been working on a related concept lately 
...

*1. TOC/Story lists*

   - I am working on a solution to save and load storylists related to the 
   TOC. Basically you can choose a "chapter" from the first TOC level and save 
   a story list under it (tagged with it).
      - This will be ready rather sooner than later, so you could have a 
      first look at it.
   - Drag and Drop to reorder the TOC would be great, but I guess it could 
   become complicated when dragging into another (deeper or higher) level.


*2. Heading autonumeration*

   - Tiddler titles are always rendered as H2 in existing story views. This 
   would make it difficult, if not impossible to use them semantically on 
   different levels of a structure like
   1. Main title (H1)
   1.1 Subtitle (H2)
   1.1.1 Paragraph title (H3)
   - Icons as numbers? My experience suggests that it would be a dangerous 
   hack to mix images and text together to resemble an entity (printing, 
   accessibility issues, ...).



*3. Headings: an alternative*

   - I think of headings as text, that should be stored in the text field 
   of a tiddler. There we – as authors – have easy access to all levels: ! = 
   H1, !! = H2, ...
   - A number could be stored in a field and prepended using a 
   view-template like {{!!myNumber}} {{!!title}}
   - Maybe the renumbering script could count exclamation points (!) at the 
   beginning of tiddlers to decide about numbering levels.
   - Ideally only a single title should be stored in a title tiddler.


*4. What about tiddler titles then?*

   - I made a plugin to hide everyting not absolutely necessary for 
   readers, primarily tiddler titles, but also tags, author, date 
   (configurable)
   see 
   https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2FReaderMode 


*5. Should authors bother about tiddler titles?*

   - Not necessarily. Tiddler titles could be generated automagically, if 
   they were mostly IDs. The problem is: They are used for other stuff. Links, 
   tags, ...
   - The TOC uses *caption *if present, else *title *– so I thought about 
   using this as a name for tiddlers ...


*6. Captions*

*What do you mean, Olegh, when you say: "The object description is stored 
in field caption."?*

Image captions can be quite long AND language specific while images could 
be language independent. A caption like 

> Furuyama Moromasa. *Portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro II as Kamakura no 
> Gongorô,* 1736. The Art Institute of Chicago. 
>
would not be ideal to display in a TOC. But it is the official, required, 
caption for an artwork. (Image link 
<https://www.artic.edu/artworks/123402/portrait-of-ichikawa-danjuro-ii-as-kamakura-no-gongoro>
)


*7. Images*

Your image example does not use the figure + figcaption HTML structure I 
suggested im my examples 
<https://tid.li/tw5/hacks.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigures%2Fui%2Frenumber-story:%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigures%2Fui%2Frenumber-story%20%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigures%2Freadme%20%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigure%2Fexample-image2%20%5B%5BFig.%20Cat%20Jack%5D%5D%20%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigure%2Fexample-image%20%5B%5BFig.%20Cat%20Sleep%5D%5D%20%5B%5BList%20of%20Figures%5D%5D%20%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Ffigures%2Ffigure-macros>.
 
I know it is too complicated to create, but it should be the goal to have 
semantical code output wherever possible.


*8. Citations*

Maybe add an example for citations 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Block%20Quotes%20in%20WikiText> too? Would be 
interesting with source/author references.


That’s it for today. All the best,
Thomas
