FR: outliner

[RA]

I'd like to see some sort of outline support in TW.
I would imagine it to have the following features:

* Simple syntax
* Navigation accesskeys (not sure what is possible inside a browser -
cursor movement, +/-, vi-style?)
* Implicit cookie for each node open/closed status
* Depth of about 10 would be sufficient (?)
* Wiki syntax support inside
* section editing (i.e. editing a subtree starting from any given
item)

You can get most of these features using
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#NestedSlidersPlugin

syntax:

+++(cookiename)[heading]>
content
===

Example:

+++(cookie1)[heading1]>
+++(cookie1.1)[heading1.1]>
+++(cookie1.1.1)[heading1.1.1]>
wikistuff
===
+++(cookie1.1.2)[heading1.1.2]>
wikistuff
===
+++(cookie1.2)[heading1.2]>
wikistuff
===
+++(cookie1.3)[heading1.3]>
wikistuff
===
+++(cookie2)[heading2]>
wikistuff
===
+++(cookie3)[heading3]>
+++(cookie3.1)[heading3.1]>
wikistuff

Another alternative: http://visualtw.ouvaton.org/VisualTW.html This
tagstree plugin "Displays tags hierachy as a tree of tagged tiddlers.
Can be used to create dynamic outline navigation." So, it's primarily
useful for navigation rather than as an outline tool per se (e.g.,
ecco, listpro, ijot).

Handsome site, but I'm not sure what the nested sliders is/are on your
site. What aspect of the site demonstrates them?

Sliders are used extensively throughout the site! This includes:

* Every "floating panel" (try the commands in the MainMenu, or double-
click for the "site menu" and then try any command there...)
* The right siderbar's "accordion effect" (click the upper-right "<"
icon - just above the story column - to view the siderbar)
* The Welcome tiddler's various sub-sections (catalog, quote,
browser)...
* In the catalog's "Summary" tab (see TabSummary), the "statistics",
"changes", "news", "reviews" details are all in sliders
* and tons more places...

Here's some tiddlers you might look at:
[[SiteMenu]]
[[SiteMenuOptions]]
[[SideBarOptions]]
[[TabSummary]]

If you haven't already done so, see
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#NestedSlidersPluginInfo
for complete documentation of the nested sliders syntax, as well as a
number of examples of it's use.
