I have found AppendToTiddler

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AppendToTiddler
Usage: <<tiddler AppendToTiddler with: datefmt>>

Is a great tool, my tiddler content template has this the following
contained in it;
<<tiddler AppendToTiddler with:"YYYY-0MM-0DD hh:0MM">>

When in view mode I can just type a new entry and it will be appended
to the tiddler with a time date stamp, this saves editing the tiddler
and means the tiddler remains in it's clean, viewTemplate rendered
format.

The following would be fantastic to be able to with an alternate
version of appendToTiddler, perhaps called InsertInTiddler;

*Allow an anchor to be specified in the tiddler content eg; "%Log%" or
"!Notes" that InsertInTiddler will use to place the new entry
*Allow new entries to be placed before or after a particular anchor
(Allowing multiple entries lists to be ascending or descending)
*Allow new entries to optionally be multi-line entries (To assist cut
and paste of text entries from elsewhere)
*Allow new entries to be inserted with or without the time stamp)

Something Similar can be found in;
monkeyTagger's logging:"true" anchor:"%log%" format
<span macro='monkeyTagger source:"PriorityTag" label:"Priority"
logging:"true" anchor:""'</span>

Perhaps it is asking too much but InsertInTiddler could also populate
tiddler fields, Slices or append to the title or tags. It could also
have the ability to specify a default value.

Why would this be so good ?
*Tiddlers can be structured and new details placed in previously
determined places.
*The user need never see the edit template view of the tiddler
*Using sophisticated tiddlers will be much simpler
*LIFO and FIFO lists in tiddlers would be very easy to manage
*Virtual anchors of Top/Bottom etc.. may also be helpful and also
support appendToTiddlers functionality

eg;
Usage: <<tiddler InsertInTiddler with: "datefmt" after|before "anchor"
line|multiline>>

Use "" for date format for no time stamp

What do you Java Whizzes think ?
