Jeremy, thanks for input. When I use the TWX disclaimer I typically assume a substantial remake like TWC --> TW5, exactly to avoid the limits of the current TW implementation.

Are separate attributes better than to have one textreference? We do, after all, use the compact textreference format *sometimes* in current TW. The point with my proposal was to avoid unnecessary parameters when possible. I also think there is a nice aesthetic, and an opportunity, to treat textreferences as a gradually more fine grained address. A kind of name space. The ## used for data tiddler indices is only valid within a text reference. > Otherwise it would clash with the use of # for numbered lists. > So, both the fact that browsers apparently force us to use ##, at least atm, and that TWX ought to feature *hashtagging* speaks for coming up with something else for numbered lists. Side note: One idea could be to use asterisks (*) for *all* those typed kinds of lists of lists, but specify how it should appear e.g in the first element. I think bullet lists are under used, and we can do much more with them (eg <http://listtree.tiddlyspot.com/> , eg <http://familytree.tiddlyspot.com/>), particularly considering the role lists play in TW.

Why could we not (hypothetically) do it with segments marked out by arbitrarily placed markers? It would be a kind of encapsulation. Other than to use it as an address for navigation, it could be used for styling (I guess, basically converting it to div tags). A more tiddleresque idea is to use it for "auto-excision"to automatically split out such segments that evidently deserve to be separate tiddlers. (Side note: I read somewhere that browsers will soon introduce something so that you can give an url to a specific point on a webpage.) <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
