I found out by coincidence that it is possible to select a piece of text on some webpage and drag it into a TW. Into an editor window just copies the text, into the ‘green zone’ imports the text (formatting, links and all) into a new tiddler. This does not work well on text from a PDF file, unfortunately.
Also, copying an image somewhere and pressing ctrl-v in a TW (outside any editor) imports the image as a new tiddler.
My question: is there an overview of all easy methods of importing information into TW?
@SjaakA there are some specific considerations with tiddlywiki but what can be done is often related to what your browser does and works like.
For example I have installed browser extensions that allow me to copy content from any website as text, tables, html etc… and paste this into tiddlywiki or even another editor like notepad++
You may want to explore the right-click after selecting text in a PDF to see what options you have available to copy to the clipboard.
Typically drag and drop uses a default “format” for what you are dragging, using r-click and one of the copy as options give you more control.
After you study this a little more, perhaps ask us more specific questions.
SO sadly there is not;
But part of this is because a lot of the information, is not in tiddlywiki but in your browser operation or content related.
I do have a lot of experience in this and happy to answer multiple questions to get you where you want to go.
There is a browser extension for firefox and chrome (and others chromium based browsers) that clips content from the web and automatically creates tiddlers for the clips -
