Not wanting to be negative. And frustrated right now! - please ignore this post. Elephant in the room… been wasting hours! - missed a ‘"’ in a TiddlyWiki markup - really! Could have produced so much more in that time! I hear all the time - the greatest strength of TiddlyWiki is also it’s greates…

Hi poc2go Sorry to read that. … I did create a TW cheat-sheet attached to this post, which is also part of a pending pull-request for the TW documentation edition at tiddlywiki.com The main tiddler is: Wikitext Cheat-Sheet .. which also contains a button to export the tiddler and all related tiddl…

[image] jeremyruston: Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful posts, which together present a helpful analysis of where we are and how we got here. Since this thread has gone on beyond @jeremyruston ’s brilliant summary post I thought, well, I make a few comments. IMO we want TW for “DOERS” p…

[image] jeremyruston: TiddlyWiki has evolved over time with strict backwards compatibility Bingo! And I think to the very good. Kudos to YOU! TW IS unusual in it’s evolution over time WITH pretty amazing backwards compatibility.
