Update: I followed the instructions here:
https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/static/How%2520to%2520create%2520plugins%2520in%2520the%2520browser.html
And created a plugin which simply contains:
(function () { alert("Test alert"); })
Everything got packed and saved, and the plugin appears installed. But when
I reload the alert box doesn't appear. I would have expected the code
inside an installed plugin to run upon startup. How can I get TW to execute
my plugin code?
