The behaviours of everything that I’ve explained in this thread are documented. The trouble, as others have noted, is that the documentation can be hard at first because there is so much of it and there are so many interdependencies. The behaviour of the wikify widget, for example, is precisely described; it’s just that the description is too terse for most people, and needs more examples. The reason why I asked what you were trying to achieve is because I’m puzzled by the use of the wikify widget. The wikify widget was added recently as a way to achieve certain relatively advanced effects that weren’t otherwise achievable, and getting ones head around it is undeniably confusing because it introduces multiple levels of wikification. But, it’s quite rare that it is needed, and I’m not convinced that you need it at all for what you’re trying to do here, hence my question. > Thank you for your patient explanations of what has been happening with my > tiddlyscript attempts.
