Hi!
I'm not aware of a plugin that would enable importing from Excel, but until
someone points out a more streamlined solution, you can try this bit of a
workaround. The following is not recommended for beginners, since it is a
bit complicated, but if you know your way around the TW code, you can try
it.
Presuming that tiddlers are written the same way in TW5 as they are in TWC,
you could do that in Excel. You need to insert columns and add the correct
text for each tiddler.
<div title=" TIDDLER TITLE " modifier="YOUR NAME" created="201109141339"
modified="201110141339" tags="TAGS FOR [[ALL TIDDLERS]] TIDDLER-SPECIFIC
TAGS [[IF ANY]] ">
<pre> YOUR STRUCTURED
TEXT </pre>
</div>
This would create a tiddler titled "TIDDLER TITLE" with user name YOURNAME,
created and modified dates 201109141339 and the tags "TAGS FOR [[ALL
TIDDLERS]] TIDDLER-SPECIFIC TAGS [[IF ANY]]". The text would contain:
YOUR STRUCTURED
TEXT
In HTML, this would look like this:
<div title="TIDDLER TITLE" modifier="YOURNAME" created="201109141339"
modified="201110141339" tags="TAGS FOR [[ALL TIDDLERS]]TIDDLER-SPECIFIC
TAGS [[IF ANY]]">
<pre>YOUR STRUCTURED
TEXT</pre>
</div>
The entire tiddler text would need to be in a single cell. If you need to
add a line break manually, you can do this with ALT+ENTER. Also, before you
paste the above code, you need to remove the tabs, which represent cell
breaks. You can do this in Word or a notepad. Also, for some reason, you
might get too many double quotes (""). You need to replace then with single
quotes ("). And you should also check for quotes after the ending DIV tag
of a tiddler (</div>"), which you should remove (</div>). You can paste the
resulting code in the storeArea (after <div id="storeArea"> tag).
HTH until a better solution comes around,
