I hope you guys don't mind some criticism. TiddlyWiki should be renamed FiddlyWiki -- everything seems to require poorly document, or arcane, steps or copying someone else's code to make things work. The macro suggested above is an example. Sure, it just embeds an anchor tag into the HTML, but the reason most people use wikis is to avoid writing HTML. Thus my assumption that the macro must be able to be embedded in a [[link]].
Creating a hierarchy sure looks simple -- just do "New here". But I couldn't find any documentation that told me that that is what that command does. I agree with others that say that TW5 is pretty powerful, but it isn't for the average person until some of these things are both better documented, and a way to access/perform the more complicated things just become menu-driven or something similar. And I'm not a Luddite. I'm fairly technical, but my expectation is that an end-user tool should make it obvious and easy to do common things. If I have to put on my 'programmer hat' to figure out how it works, it probably is too hard. On Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 2:22:00 PM UTC-5, S.
