I am closer to having this working. I’m using the defaults from “empty” edition.
@saqimtiaz I couldn’t find examples with render, do you have some?
Progress
Here’s where I’m at:
Couldn’t get it working at all
From single file wiki to output. Just fails silently? Verbose mode does nothing?
Solution: you must have a tiddlywiki.info file
You can grab the default one from empty edition.
Looking at that file was helpful. eg. I changed the name of static to index.html instead, and deleted the commands around alltiddlers.html.
Load from a single file wiki and build a static site
tiddlywiki --load twgroceries.html --build static
Open Questions
This outputs to /output/
- how to change this output folder? Specifically, I don’t want a static.html AND a subfolder of
/static/, I’d like them all in one folder - also I’d actually like to do the current folder I’m operating in, but
--output ./or similar don’t work
The “front page” gets rendered differently (without the custom Notebook theme), but all the individual tiddlers do get rendered with it. I guess I need to include the Notebook theme in the tiddlywiki.info? I don’t know what the path is for that theme.

I’ve also enabled git saving, which is really nice. I can just hit save on my desktop and it pushes it up (still have to pull down the code to get an updated local copy, but decent for a single working session).
I think I can use the LogSeq Publish plugin and the “publish to gh-pages” branch after I get things building correctly.
Right now, if I were to check in the output folder, I could set that as the subfolder to build from, and I’d be done. But that’s completely manual and what we’re trying to fix
