Hi, In working on TiddlyWebWiki and TiddlySpace I think we are at the stage where it would be good to have a good solid story for including tiddlers with text describing a data format other than text ie. by this I mean images, svg files, videos etc etc..
I brought this subject up in the TiddlyWeb group (See http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlyweb/browse_thread/thread/c23bfdf5fafabfee) and it has been suggested that tiddlers (up to a certain style) are delivered with base64 data URI as the tiddler.text and fields containing any extra required metadata. A tiddler type attribute would identify what the tiddler text describes? For example the tiddler type might be image/xml+svg and the tiddler text might be the source code, or alternatively it might be image/png and the tiddler text might be a data uri. Viewing an image tiddler in normal TiddlyWiki might show gobbledygook but with the addition of a plugin/adaption of the wikifier clicking on the tiddler would show the image it represents in place of the text. Does anyone see a reason why we might not want to do this and can suggest a better way of doing this? I'm looking for us to agree on this so that we can concentrate on writing plugins that make use of the type to render the tiddler correctly. Any thoughts?
