Dear all,
I'm afraid this thread is taking the wrong direction. No offense
but the back-up files and in particular their number of weight pointed
out a problem: the weight of the index.html file itself. Externalizing
scripts seems to be the answer (reference to Asciencepad) but cannot,
so it seems, be done that easily.
Any information about how to achieve this is what I am interested
in. Again, please take no offense anybody, but I'd like to read more
about this.
Thank you Eric for the link to http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Backup
