Ciao PMario & all Regarding the AIM: *to provide ability to have line breaks in fields*.
I don't understand the underlying architecture. But I understand the need. This is a basic example where this utility would add to TidlyWiki and ease usage. Take the case of MOVIES. Each movie is SINGULAR (one & unique). -- At the moment if you want to maintain a dataset organised by Movie Title that includes rich content, including line-breaks, its over complicated. You have to have several Tiddlers per Movie as soon as you include lines breaks. A simple example is ACTORS. Say you have 35 actors in a movie. Is that 35 fields? 35 Actor Tiddlers? Or *better* 1 field with 35 lines? -- A "Movie" is a good example of a referenced object that is a whole. It does not need to be spread over multiple Tiddlers. Currently for richer data you have to (over)break it down. -- One might argue a solution here is to emulate a relational database via JSON structures. But actually, I think complex (tree-nested) JSON is unnecessarily complex for the specific USE CASE. -- The Use Case Supposition (with good reason) is one-movie is one-thing. A movie is one object... Even IF George Clooney appears in 13 other movies, when I'm looking at the record for one movie I could still link to Clooney but I think over-spawning "actor-tiddlers" would pretty soon ruin a TW's utility in over-complexity. --- *Crucial point*. In my usage I want to send students ONE Tiddler per movie so they can easily import it. Its needs to have a way to include line breaks in fields so that I can include Plot, Logline, Actor Field & Crew, all as a unit. Other routes get far too complicated.
