$:/tags/RawMarkup doesn't work for shadow tiddlers?

Developers
#1

It seems that if I tag a shadow tiddler with $:/tags/RawMarkup, it has no effect. Once I edit the tiddler, everything works.
Is there an alternative to having a shadow tiddler’s contents included in ?

I would have thought the act of tagging a shadow tiddler edits it.

I belive You need to save and reload the wiki for it to work.

What I meant is I have a shadow tiddler that has this tag.

If I understand correctly, you have created a plugin that contains a shadow tiddler that is tagged with $:/tags/RawMarkup, and you are expecting the contents of that tiddler to be invoked at load time.

One thing that may help is to save-and-reload your document TWICE (even without editing that shadow tiddler).

Here’s what SHOULD be happening:

The first time you save-and-reload after importing your plugin, the plugin’s shadow tiddlers are “unpacked” at startup, creating any shadow tiddlers that have been tagged with $:/tags/RawMarkup.

Then, when you save a second time, the contents of that now existing shadow tiddler should be copied into the <head> section of the file, which is performed by the following lines that are found in $:/core/templates/tiddlywiki5.html:

<!--~~ Raw markup ~~-->
`{{{ [enlist<saveTiddlerAndShadowsFilter>tag[$:/core/wiki/rawmarkup]] ||$:/core/templates/plain-text-tiddler}}}
{{{ [enlist<saveTiddlerAndShadowsFilter>tag[$:/tags/RawMarkup]] ||$:/core/templates/plain-text-tiddler}}}
{{{ [enlist<saveTiddlerAndShadowsFilter>tag[$:/tags/RawMarkupWikified]] ||$:/core/templates/raw-static-tiddler}}}`

When you then reload the now twice saved file, the shadow contents that were copied into the <head> section are then invoked as you expected, so that whatever raw markup they contain can be processed.

Let me know if this works as I have described.
