Right. Very Mohfte and not Tufte.
Thank you, Saq. Certainly, your syntax is significantly more refined than mine.
Could this used the already-defined-in-HTML tag <aside>
? It looks like it’s used in exactly the same way as the <sidenote> ... </sidenote>
suggestion, or does using existing html tags make it trickier?
(noting that I only learned about the aside tag yesterday while looking for something else and am watching this Tufte thread with interest, but not yet played with a Tufte/TW setup)
Absolutely! We only need to use it like <aside class="sidenote">...</aside>
. This is because users may have their own use of aside.
Give a try, it works for your proposal.
Hi @Mohammad,
Just having a poke at my wiki and I noticed that the Tufte wasn’t being tufty.
I Have tried dropping your ‘Tufte Styles’ Link into an empty wiki and tiddlywiki.com the only side notes which appear are denoted by <div class="marginnote">
the other methods don’t.
Never mind. The tiddler tufte-lite/procedures also needs to be exported.
Not surprising since it never was a Tufte.
And never could have been.
It is a decent design approach.
It is a Mohfte.
It’s author @Mohammad is a nice bloke.
Happy updates!
Ok… I’ll bite…
Why, when based on the style of of Tufte can it no be Tufte and what is Mohfte or is that just a word you’ve coined to mean ‘Tufte like or haveing some aspects of Tufte while not being Tufte’?
It is a portmanteau (word blending) of “MOHammad” and “tuFTE”.
Of course it is! Silly me.
Just another addendum that just caught me out. In order for the Mohfte style to be applied the tiddler needs a class field containing tufte-lite to apply the Mohfte style.
Great idea, @Mohammad – seeing this pop up in the recent topics inspired me to play around with a similar concept that allows one to easily add notes and figures as they’re reading
