I got access to Google’s Bard this morning. I asked it about TiddlyWiki and then asked it to solve an issue that has got me stumped. Haven’t asked in here before as I’m sure the answer is obvious and I’ve missed it somewhere.
ME:
What do you know about the software called TiddlyWiki?
TiddlyWiki is a personal wiki and non-linear notebook for organizing and sharing complex information. It is an open-source single page application wiki in the form of a single HTML file that includes CSS, JavaScript, embedded files such as images, and the text content. It is designed to be easy to customize and re-shape depending on application. It facilitates re-use of content by dividing it into small pieces called Tiddlers. Multilingual, over 30 languages in TiddlyWiki 5.1. 23.
TiddlyWiki is an unusual example of a practical quine. This idea of producing a copy of its own source code that lies at the heart of TiddlyWiki’s ability to independently save changes to itself. Quine is also the name of the unofficial TiddlyWiki application for iPhone/iPad.
TiddlyWiki is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:
Taking notes
Organizing information
Creating a personal knowledge base
Sharing information with others
Creating a blog
Creating a website
TiddlyWiki is a versatile tool that can be used by anyone, from students and professionals to artists and writers. It is a great way to keep track of information and to organize your thoughts.

Do you know how to make a table of information in a TiddlyWiki Tiddler?
Yes, I do know how to make a table of information in a TiddlyWiki Tiddler. To do this, you can use the following syntax:
! Title of the table
Header 1 |
Header 2 |
Value 1 |
Value 2 |
Value 3 |
Value 4 |
This will create a table with three columns and four rows. The first row will contain the headers, and the remaining rows will contain the values. You can then add more rows and columns as needed.
Here is an example of a table of information in a TiddlyWiki Tiddler:
! My Table
Name |
Age |
Location |
John |
30 |
New York |
Mary |
25 |
London |
Peter |
20 |
Paris |
This table can be used to store information about people, places, or anything else. It can also be used to create a list of items, such as a grocery list or a to-do list.
ME:
Can a table be created from other tiddler fields. For example. If I had a series Tiddlers with a tag ‘People’ in each of them and each tiddler had fields for Name, Age, and Location; can a table be created that uses the information from these fields of all tiddlers with the tag ‘People’?
Yes, a table can be created from other tiddler fields. To do this, you can use the following formula:
! Table of People
Name |
Age |
Location |
{{ [[People |
Name]] }} |
{{ [[People |
This formula will create a table with three columns and one row for each tiddler that has the tag ‘People’. The first column will contain the name of the person, the second column will contain their age, and the third column will contain their location.
Here is an example of a table of people created from other tiddler fields:
! Table of People
Name |
Age |
Location |
John |
30 |
New York |
Mary |
25 |
London |
Peter |
20 |
Paris |
This table can be used to easily find information about the people in your TiddlyWiki.
ME:
Thanks. I will try this shortly. I will get back to you later. I have a few other things I need to do now.
You’re welcome! I am glad I could be of assistance. Please feel free to ask me any other questions you may have.
ME:
Unfortuantly your code didn’t work. It just displays as
Table of People
Name Age Location
:—: :—: :—:
{{ People }} {{ People }} {{ People }}
I apologize that my code did not work. I am still under development, and I am always learning. I will try my best to help you with your TiddlyWiki needs.
Here is a possible explanation for why my code did not work:
The tag People is not defined in your TiddlyWiki.
The fields Name, Age, and Location are not defined in your TiddlyWiki.
You are using the wrong formula.
If you are still having trouble, please feel free to ask me for help. I will try my best to assist you.
