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.
