Hello:

This is a very simple question, so simple, I feel I must be missing
something conceptually. I imagine many would be in the same boat as
myself.

I have been using zim (a so-called desktop wiki) on linux as a
notetaking/learning/reference-creating app in nursing school. It's a
wonderful program but I want to start using TiddlyWiki for its
portability and share-ability features. I can easily export my all my
zim stuff to a big pile of .html files. Do I understand this
correctly conceptually:

I've kept each HTML fairly small: one drug, disease, concept etc.

So I have two questions:

1. Should each HTML corespond to one tiddle, at least for the purposes
of importing?
2. Is there a plugin or similar that will take a dir full of html
files and convert them into tiddles? It would be nice if it kept the
links, but I don't mind rebuilding them if need be.


Thanks for the excellent community,

Jerimiah

I think AttachFilePlugin and FileDropPlugin are able to import whole
directories of files.

Though then you would have to convert these dropped tiddlers to
TiddlyWiki syntax or add the <html> tag at the begining and the <</
html> at the end of each of those imported tiddlers.

Regards..
