i was trying to use the exporttiddlers plugin. i copied the code
directly from the site but tiddlywiki says i am getting errors in the
two lines containing <<exportTiddlers inline>>.
the plugin manager says there is an invalid character.
has anyone else had problems like this?
how can i make it work?

If you use the copy/paste method to install a plugin, you should
always copy *everything* from the plugin's source definition,
including all 'non-code' portions. In many cases, this content is
required... both for proper functioning of the plugin, and by the
Terms of Use specified in the plugin's license (see
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#LegalStatements)

However, copy/paste is inherently error-prone. Whenever possible, you
should use the backstage>import function to import the entire plugin
tiddler. This ensures that the content is properly transferred into
your document, without any 'hand-editing' process to mess things up.
