Are macros defined in official documentation part of a plugin?

#1

Official documentation uses macros for illustrating examples. Like

<<.operator-example 1 "[tag[task]]">>

I can always export these macros from official document and then import into my TW.

My question are these macros packaged in a plugin which I can install?

Yes, these relate to the documentation macros already incorporated in tiddlywiki.com they can also be installed from the official Tiddlywiki plugin library. Use the plugin; TW5.com Docs: Documentation from tiddlywiki.com $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tw5.com-docs.

  • I assume this plugin is up to date with those found on tiddlywiki.com
  • However this plugin also includes documentation tiddlers.
    • peering inside this plugin there are a few tiddlers tagged $:/tags/Macro these appear to be the most relevant and also some stylesheets, to assist here is a select package of these dosc-select.json (17.9 KB)
      • I have no idea if this is complete

This plugin was developed early in the development of tiddlywiki and I have personally found them a little difficult to follow, and have instead built my own macros occasionally. TiddlyWiki.com is where I can search and find how they do what they do.

Thank you @TW_Tones.

One problem in using TW on NodeJS is that official plugin list does not populate inside the plugin manager.

Otherwise, I would have noticed tw5.com-docs in the official plugin library.

This plugin does not work via NodeJS when I enabled it in the tiddlywiki.info file.

I tried the plugin inside a single file TW and it works fine. Though it adds many redundant tiddlers increasing the size from 2.3MB to 7MB.

Thanks. I think that’s the way. Cherry pick relevant macros from the documentation.

Or split the documentation macros into a new plugin, which will require changes in the TW code.
