Do We Need to Have TiddlyWiki Books?

#22

Also “not to self-promote”, but my Inside TiddlyWiki — A Guide for Users, Authors, Designers and Developers already produces “printer-ready” output, suitable for using “save as PDF” to create a stand-alone PDF file. Just click the “print entire book” icon in the upper-left toolbar. This will open a separate “Inside TiddlyWiki - Print Preview” window.

Then, from that window, click the printer icon in the upper-right corner. This will trigger your system-based print dialog, with proper application of the page-break:after; CSS attribute so that each logical “book page” will be printed on a separate piece of paper (with overflow to additional printed pages as needed for longer content). There are currently 95 book pages generated by the print output.

In the options provided by the Windows system-based print dialog, you can then select a destination of “save as PDF” to create a stand-alone PDF file. I would guess that other platforms (e.g., Apple or Unix) probably have similar system-based print options as well.

enjoy,

You can fork the repo and create your own archive. The html file alco can be saved on Tiddlyhost.

Would you happen to have a solution to using your reference tiddlywiki on mobile? It’s pretty jam packed aith other ui elements and bit difficult to navigate.

Not to be too dismissive of the large number of books available for Obsidian, but how many of those books are really adding anything new and substantive or were they just made for SEO purposes?

I really don’t know a lot about Obsidian, but its just what I infer from those book covers.

Not that TiddlyWiki couldn’t benefit from a book, it is a sort of measure of popularity, but there’s so much potential material to cover. Giving the subject of the book a specific use case also might make it easier to have a book on the subject. For example there could be a “How to create a Zettelkasten with TiddlyWiki” or “How to get started with GTD with TiddlyWiki” (the MonkeyGTD TiddlyWiki was one of the first projects I remember seeing use TiddlyWiki before I started using TiddlyWiki myself.
