How do you know the viewtemplate isn’t seen?
In any event, it appears that the plugin may not work with the current version of the dynannotate plugin. There’s supposed to be a legacy tracker mode, but it doesn’t seem to actually work.
Oh, apparently I had an update to the plugin. This version works for me, at least after a fashion

Hi @Mark_S , cool!
I was also working on something like this. I Also would like to have the possibility to correct small parts in a tool like that.
You need to put the value “yes” into tiddler " $:/config/Dynannotate/LegacySelectionTracker/Enable". Be very careful that there is no carriage return after “yes”.
Also, then save and reload so the tracker is activated.
Is Dynannotate a Legacy now?
No the state of the plugin is “stable”. But there may be a setting internally, that is only there for 3rd party plugin compatibility. So the config has legacy in the title.

It has a legacy mode. It is unclear what the advantage of the new, “standard” mode is. It also has settings to activate the selection tracker for both legacy and “standard” mode. The documentation doesn’t explain why you would want to turn selection on/off, but I assume that there might be a performance hit or a conflict with some other services that also use selection.

If anyone is interested, the official dynannotate documentation is a bit broken. There’s a button that is supposed to let you test dynannotate as a template. It writes over the body template. But the button doesn’t overwrite the template.
@Mark_S do you use the dyna annotator frequently. What is your experience with it on touch screen devices… both android mobile phones and tablets ?
I don’t use it extensively. A quick look at it in the one file where I do use it, checking Tiddloid, and it seems to work fine, but the annotations pop up off-screen. You just scroll side-wise to see them.
I think the reason i don’t use it on mobile as much goes back to events long ago where saving on mobile corrupted data. I should probably adopt better backup habits so I can feel freer to take risks.
This is one main problem i encountered in small screen devices. Anyway to fix it so that in mobile devices the popup is fixed in the center of the screen irrespective of the position of the text being selected. Must be possible with some CSS I guess.

I found this video in old Tiddlywiki google group. I am thinking of creating something similar (creating questions and answers flashcard tiddlers) for myself and my kid.
That looks cool. Do you have a TW with information that would be useful for your kid? If you could combine it with TiddlyRemember then you’d be able to have the questions fired off using spaced-repetition in Anki.
Apropos of nothing, imgur has been blocked (or rather blocked itself) in the UK since 2025 (because of the age requirements).
I haven’t used anki yet… I have seen an anki inspired Tiddlywiki called anwiki which used condition and formula plug ins to create a spaced repetition system. I have created something similar for a cloze system in the past using Tiddlywiki. I will upload a wiki if possible
