Saving Tiddlers (Ideas)

Filed under: Ideas

It may be necessary to save both the rendered (wikified) and unrendered text when saving a tiddler. The reason is that some tiddlers use plugins but contain no content in their unrendered form. In their rendered form however, they have juicy text and links which:

  1. The TagMe search will miss
  2. Cannot be displayed without the TW engine

If we save the rendered text we will be able to do something that TW can’t currently do namely, searching the effective contents (rendered text).

Possible Issues

  • Maintaining an up to date rendered version. This is dependant on (possibly) all other tiddlers in the case of the <<list all>> macro.
  • Possible "un-rendering" certain parts of the Tiddler so that TagMe can parse them. I’m thinking of inter-tiddler links for example which should be saved as [[TargetTiddler]] instead of <a href="javascript;" etc…>TargetTiddler</a> so that TagMe can determine backlinks.
