What is the difference between fields and viewtemplates? Tiddlers have the fields; title, tags, text etc and they are(?) all viewtemplates. But when I create a custom viewtemplate... does that make it a field? And what's the name of that field in that case?
The background for is reply from Jeremy to a question in another <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/tiddlywikidev/ZCVQbwlpvAE> thread: > - Does a ViewTemplate tax the system more than the average tiddler > considering how viewtemplates are transcluded into all other tiddlers? > > Yes; put more clearly: the view template is highly critical to performance > since it impacts each tiddler displayed in the story river. This makes me think one ought to be able to create tiddler *local *"viewtemplates" instead. UI-wise a mesh between the text field and a custom field, so that any content in that freely named new field is *wikified *and displayed in view mode, just like the text field content is. The occasional times I create viewtemplates, they typically start with a filter to test if the current tiddler fulfills some criteria - and the typical case is that very few tiddlers to fulfill it, so the viewtemplate isn't relevant for the typical tiddler. So currently; viewtemplates show wikified content in viewmode but are global - and custom fields are local but not-wikified and not in viewmode. I want the best of both worlds. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
