How to make \n symbol to read as new line in Tiddlywiki?

#1

Hi! I like to use Tiddywiki symbols * # // – and so on in text field.
But is it possible to make my own rule for symbols?
For example to read \n as new line?

#2

Thanks for asking this. I’m always forgetting where (and where not) \n is recognised.

@Siniy-Kit why have you arrived at this question? It may help for us to know what led you here.

I know a few different ways to answer and have an equivalent or two depending on what you are trying to achive.

  • you could search and replace \n with new line
  • I have a special symbol you enter from an editor tool bar that becomes a new line at render time.

And I have more I can share…

I believe only in regular expressions to test for new line.

@pmario has a solution for this. He wrote a plugin to add custom rules to parser.

Yes See Wikilabs “Custom Markup” or “Space space newline”.

Here is my aforementioned line break character which has a parser in it and an editor toolbar button to insert it (no shortcut yet set)

linebreak-editor-toolbar-button.json (3.6 KB)

eg; This↩︎that↩︎and the other results in

This
that
and the other

You could search and replace \n with ↩︎

You could try the space-space-newline plugin, but I’m not sure if that’s what you ask for in the OP

Hi, Anthony! I help people to make their TW5 on-line stores on my site from their google spreadsheets
Last time I get this LAND ROVER Google магазин 2.4 - Google Spreadsheets

there are many /n in it Бесплатный интернет магазин на Гугл таблицах с сайта heeg.ru — Heeg.html so I try to make my TW rule for it.

I’ll test your variant/
