Icon in caption of Stamp

[Markus Adler]

Hi,

it is possible to get an Icon in the stamplist inside the editor?

[Ton Gerner]

Hi Markus,

You can transclude an icon.

1. Click the Stamp button
2. Click Add yor own
3. Insert something like `{{$:/core/images/spiral}}` in the text field
4. Fill in the caption field with a descriptive name
5. Enter a title for the tiddler
6. Save

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ton

Thank you Ton but that's not what I want.

The icon should not be inserted by stamp. The icon should appear next to the description in the stamp selection list.

I tried to insert '{{$:/core/images/spiral}} description' in the description field but no symbol appears.

Hi Markus,

Sorry I misunderstood.
As you found out transclusion is displayed as pure text.
The same holds for HTML entities like ©.
But if you copy/paste the displayed entity it works.

Hope that helps, there are a lot of HTML entities supported by TW 5, see https://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fmodules%2Fconfig.js.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Markus,

For personal use there are far more text characters that can be copied/pasted, e.g. from:

• https://www.piliapp.com/symbol/
• https://coolsymbol.com/

Cheers,

Ton

Simple but very nice solution.

Hey Ton,

that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you very much.

Hi Markus

Putting '{{$:/core/images/spiral}} description’  in the caption field should in fact work, and it’s a bug that it doesn’t.

The problem lies in the template $:/core/ui/EditorToolbar/stamp-dropdown which builds the dropdown for the stamp tool. To display the description of each stamp it currently uses:

<$view tiddler=<<snippetTitle>> field="caption" mode="inline">

<$view tiddler=<<snippetTitle>> field="title" mode="inline"/>

</$view>

The <$view> widget displays a field as plain text. If the field doesn’t exist then the content of the <$view> widget is displayed instead.

However, the convention in TiddlyWiki is to transclude the caption field, rather than just viewing it as plain text. Transcluding the content of the field causes wikitext such as the image to work normally.

I’ve fixed the problem here:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/7795ed92300b6ed73062363484eff68de4c141f6

The fix will be live on the prerelease in about 10 minutes:

https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease

We don't recommend using the prerelease for anything important, though. Until v5.1.22 is released you’d probably be better off using the Unicode trick (which does in any case carry some advantages).

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

that sounds great.
For me, this increases the clarity a lot. Another feature could be the grouping of the stamps by tabs or headings.

P.S.

I'm not a great programmer, just an avid tw user.

Yes indeed, one could make it an expandable/collapsible hierarchical catalogue along the lines of the table of contents.

I'm not a great programmer, just an avid tw user.

Well, of course TiddlyWiki isn't designed for programmers, it is intended to help ordinary users achieve the sorts of things that programmers take for granted.  The fact that you correctly figured out how to do what you wanted is a testament to your ingenuity, and hopefully says something about the consistency of the internal logic that makes up the inwardness of TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Jeremy
