ISO date format, especially for journal entry headings?

[Johann Petrak]

Every time I create a new journal I have to change the default title
from something like "12 August 2007" to "2007-08-12" which is what I
am used to and which is also listed well sorted in the list of
entries.

Is there a way to make it so that the ISO date format is automatically
used there? Is there a way to show dates in ISO format at all other
locations within a TiddlyWiki?

Ps, FND, how do I link to a macro name [[newJournal macro|NewJournal (macro)]] not working

Johann,

I use the date format "2007.08.21 at 11:20:40" in my Journal.

Go to http://tiddlyspot.com/twhelp/index.html#%5B%5BMacros%20Built-in%5D%5D
Or

And look at the "today" and "newJournal" tabs and it will show you how
to format the date and time in the way you want.

That's because MediaWiki's link syntax is reversed when compared to
TiddlyWiki's:
[[target|description]]
I keep forgetting that as well (sometimes I curse MediaWiki, at other
times it's TiddlyWiki's syntax I despise... )

I've fixed it.

Oh boy, I actually knew that already. For some reason I was hung up on the round bracket chars being the cause of my problems. Sorry!

I've fixed it.

 

Thanks.. :)

 

I noticed that WikiCreole supports the mediawiki style on this one:

Of course it would be too much pain to adopt this link standard now wouldn't it???

That's happened to me before; another one of those "d'oh" moments...

Well, considering that Martin is very much in favor of adhering to
WikiCreole's standards (suggestions?), I don't think this is such a bad
idea.
For backwards compatibility, there could be a LegacyPrettyLinksPlugin
(which would have to override the Creole syntax though).
Also, creating a simple plugin to update all PrettyLinks' syntax should
be simple with a tiny bit of RegEx magic (simply swap $0 and $1).

Since the PrettyLink syntax is being discussed anyway at the moment, I
think we might want to take this issue to [twdev]:

My CreoleFormatterPlugin:

http://www.martinswiki.com/#CreoleFormatterPlugin

adds support for [[link|title]] format links. It's got a bit of
intelligence built in to try and work out whether the link is of
[[link|title]] or [[title|link]] format.

And yes, I'd be in favour of changing the PrettyLink syntax to support
this, with a plugin that supports the old format. As a user of both
MediaWiki and TiddlyWiki I find myself getting mixed up quite often.

Great; so we should take this to [twdev] then:
