Static Tabs.
A teaser 
Tabs that survive the journey from interactive to static.
If tabs are how you organise. They keep ideas tidy. They show one thing at a time. They feel right — until the moment you publish.
Because the moment you build a static site, the moment you print, the moment a search engine looks at your page, only the first tab remains. Every other tab is gone. Hidden by JavaScript that isn’t running. Lost.
Until now.
Meet Static Tabs.
A new way for <<tabs>> to render itself. Same macro. Same call. Same tab list. But when the moment is right — when you’re publishing, not browsing — every tab unfolds into a beautiful, complete, self-contained section.
You don’t change a thing.
Want more ...
Two modes. Both gorgeous.
Sections. Each tab becomes a card. A heading on top, the content below. Every reader sees every tab, in order, in full.
Details. Each tab becomes a <details> element. Native HTML. Native interactivity. Click to collapse, click to expand. No JavaScript required — ever.
You pick. The macro adapts.
Headings that just nest.
When a tab gets its own heading, what happens to the headings inside it? They demote. Automatically. An h2 becomes an h3. An h3 becomes an h4. Your document outline stays clean, all the way down.
Even when tabs nest inside tabs, headings keep their place.
One variable. That’s it.
tv-config-static="yes" — already set during static-render. Do nothing, and your interactive tabs print themselves into beautiful static HTML. Add a single <$let> block, and you turn any page into a printable document.
That’s the whole API.
Built for the way TiddlyWiki actually works.
It uses the colour palette. So it themes. It uses tv-adjust-heading-level. So it nests. It uses <details>. So it prints, accordions, and works without JS.
It is not a plugin. It is not a workaround. It may be a part of $:/core.
You already know how to use it.
If you know <<tabs>>, you know Static Tabs. There is nothing new to learn — only something old to discover printing the way you always hoped it would.
It’s here. It’s in core (maybe ;). It’s yours.
Tabs, finally publishable.
I could not resist. Lorem ipsum is so boring
Demo: Experimental Preview
Means: the code, the functionality and the styles the be changed without warning.
