ADDENDUM: I have figured out while writing this that 4) works, but if you have other / better ideas, please do tell.
Here's what I am looking for... * I want to edit and save my TiddlyWiki plugin in my preferred editor * then I go to my browser hit reload and - bang - my plugin is loaded What is needed for that to happen? Please note that I do NOT want anything but the plugin code in my editor, especially not a tiddlywiki- file around it, not even pure-store ...there already is enough code so I don't need anymore HTML distraction possibly messing with my editors highlighter. Any ideas? Here's what I have considered so far... 1) I have tried Erics LoadRemotePlugin [1] but failed ...not even an error messages appeared. The plugin loads fine if I do the usual cookie&pasta ;o) 2) LoadRemoteTiddlers [2] seems to require a TiddlyWiki around the contents 3) IncludePlugin [3] at least requires PureStoreFormat as well. 4) MasterIncludesPlugin [4] ...it took me a while but then I figured out where to look in order to understand how it works. As I've found this process a bit exhausting I've put MasterIncludesPlugin along with the basic documentation up on its own TiddlySpace [5] ...of course, including FND as a member. Essentially what I need is provided via TiddlerFilesModule.js ...so it seems there is a working solution for me on a plugin per plugin basis. On the other hand, from what I understand from the documentation that won't be very efficient when using lots of external files. 5) Using a code highlighter in a tiddlywiki is only an option if it allowed me to immediately run the code. But switching from Edit- to ViewMode alone makes inline editing by multitudes less efficient as compared to using a full fledged editor, not to mention the limited realestate for editing ...unless, of course, I created a dedicated coding envoronment in TiddlyWiki with FullScreenMode et al ...yet still very likely missing even the most basic functions of a good editor, e.g. using TAB or SHIFT+TAB on multiple lines. 6) TiddlyWeb might be an option (I am running on XP) but only if it wont take too much of a learning curve (and thus time) to get the basics running. On the other hand, do I really want to manage (starting/stopping) (local) servers if what I really want is a "simple" TiddlyWiki (inclusion mechanism) and a TextEditor? Cheers, Tobias.
