Stretchtext system for Tinderbox - lovely new way to disclose info

[DaveG]

Has anyone else seen this?

It looks great.

Must be possible with TW ;-)

A simple system for inline stretchtext would be great.

Is there a plugin that allows transclusion of tiddlers?

But for some reason, I have an impression that stretchtext and
microcontent are different means of text presentation. I am going to
have to explore this with a bit of writing. Does anyone have experience
with both stretchtext and microcontent?

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#NestedSlidersPlugin
provides INLINE definition of TiddlyWiki "sliders" which seem to be
very similar to "stretchtext"...

This is an example of how+++[Nested Sliders]
a plugin from +++[TiddlyTools] ("Small Tools for Big Ideas")===
===can be used to create complex "stretchtext" sentences.
-----------------
Note that this is just the simplest sort of example.
NestedSlidersPlugin also lets you define floating panels, rollovers,
tooltips, and access keys, all surrounding arbitrary embedded
wiki-formatted tiddler content.

The TW core macro "<<tiddler TiddlerTitle>>" does transclusion... no
plugin needed.

During transclusion, the <<tiddler>> macro also performs "positional
parameter substitutions", using this optional extended "with:"
syntax...
<<tiddler TiddlerTitle with: param param param...>>
To insert the params into rendered output, you simply embed $1, $2,
$3... "subtitution markers" in the source content of TiddlerTitle.

By combining nested sliders and <<tiddler>> macros, you could probably
construct some very rich "stretchtext" documentation, while still
maintaining separate tiddlers for each little chunk of "micro-content"
(as appropriate).
