Hi all
I am trying to combine steps but I can't wrap my head around it.
I would like an editor toolbar button that does three things:
1. Inserts outer text A
2. Grabs and inserts as text the contents of a special field of the current
tiddler
3. Inserts outer text B
I want the final result to look like
<dt></dt><dd>
<span class="source">- resumen de Lee, M. E., 2017 'Sound Mapping', p.
</span>
</dd><hr>
But where
Lee, M. E., 2017 'Sound Mapping'
is the contents of the source field of the tiddler I am working in, and
everything before and after wraps around it.
I am getting stamps and buttons and filters and macros all scrambled in my
brain.
The solutions I have come up with always end up inserting the {{ "[[]]" }}
or whatever else I use to access the contents of the field. But I want to
insert the actual content of the field as text, so when I transfer the
above to another tiddler, it will retain the source from the first tiddler
rather than looking for the source field of the new tiddler.
The use case is for taking notes in a tiddler representing a book. Each
note is wrapped with the definition list line, and the source is added
automatically at the end of the note. Then I manually transfer the content,
definition list tags and all, to a tiddler (in another Tiddlywiki)
representing a topic that the note is about. That way I take notes by book
but organize notes by topic for publishing in definition lists. Then I
export as static and the end result looks like this
http://articulos.giffmex.org/evangelios/genero.html.
My current process is A) an editor toolbar button to insert the definition
list, then B) a separate stamp to insert the contents of a 'source'
tiddler, and C) change the source tiddler every time I switch between
books. Instead, I would like to just create the book tiddler, add the
source data for the book into a source field of that tiddler, then click an
editor toolbar button once each time I add a new note, without having to
repeat steps B and C.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time and patience to walk me
through this.
