This isn't quite right. TiddlyWeb is agnostic about where tiddlers come from. It can be TWClassic, TW5, or anywhere else. One of the main goals with TiddlyWeb was to change the orientation in the tiddler universe a bit. Before TiddlyWeb existed the thing that was shared around was a TiddlyWiki HTML file which contained tiddlers. There were ways to extract those tiddlers and compose them (ginsu and cook and similar tools) but the generally thought of first class accessible item in the TiddlyWiki universe was the entire TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWeb said: "tiddlers are the thing that matters, they are the first class item, let's make them accessible as the primary entity from which stuff is composed". That led to the idea that you can have tiddlers with different types and different representations, which led to a great deal of flexibility. All that said, it is true that much of the TiddlyWeb documentation is still focused on setting it up with the `tiddlywebwiki` package and using it with TWC. This is largely an accident of history that hasn't been cleaned up due to a lack of volunteers from the community. If anyone would like to help please let me know and I'll point you at the relevant stuf. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
