How to make a View Template Body Cascade work with markdown and system tiddlers.
I am asking this question in the context of tiddler-multicolumns-views - https://tiddler-multicolumn-views-demo.tiddlyhost.com/

If you look at the $:/config/ViewTemplateBodyFilters/system you can remove the tag $:/tags/ViewTemplateBodyFilter so the default treatment of system tiddlers stops working.

  • This seems to permit your tool to work on system tiddlers like $:/ControlPanel
  • But then perhaps you need to be a little more selective.

Any idea how to do this for markdown tiddlers

When you add the markdown plugin, it should just work, that is triggered by the type field.

  • That is how the mark down gets rendered correctly.

With a little research I see the default view template body, it uses the transclude widget. It is this that identifies the content type is markdown and displays it correctly.

  • What do you wish to change about the markdown tiddlers?

You can create another body template and cascade that test for the content type.
