Recently, I have updated the reveal.js library in tw-reveal.js plugin from Sukima to include support for image and video lightbox. In my opinion, reveal.js is an excellent tool for slideshows in TiddlyWiki.
Here are the steps.
- On 2025.05.02 I have updated the Reveal.JS Library to 5.2.1
- The @sukima tw-reveal.js plugin is still version 1.1.1
To make this update
- I downloaded the latest reveal.js library from Hakim GitHub page
- I also downloaded the tiddlywiki-reveal-js plugin from GitHub
- Then I created a new empty wiki folder called
kookma-reveal.js-5.2.1 - This empty wiki folder is created using
tiddlywiki kookma-reveal.js-5.2.1 --init server - I copied the plugins from
tiddlywiki-reveal-js-masterintokookma-reveal.js-5.2.1 - I also copied the Hakim reveal.js library into a folder called
reveal.jsunderkookma-reveal.js-5.2.1folder - Last, I modified the
kookma-reveal.js-5.2.1\plugins\reveal-js\tiddlywiki.filesto correct the path to the newreveal.jslibrary
You may copy the old examples and tiddlers from tiddlywiki-reveal-js-master into new wiki.
Warning
- I did not test the new features of reveal.js like lightbox
- The tw-reveal.js plugin is as the same as before, only the library has been updated to 5.2.1
