The TWaddler presents yet another thing that will have been forgotten when you eventually need it:


"...is an alternative to the common list-links macro. It presents the list as "prose"
 - i.e inline, comma separated and with an 'and' before the last item."

Mat,

Cute and actually helps with one of my bug bears, Deciding to change the order after writing.

I can count <<list-links-inline "[tag[steps]]">> <<tag steps>>

The steps may as well have their own tiddlers.

I always whished there were an editor shortcut that could reorder such lists from entered text, but this is the next best thing, and possibly better in Tiddlywiki where tiddlers are king.

Regards
Tony

Mat,

I made these for myself but sharing back

See attached packaging. 
The .tid file can be hosted on your wiki, then drag and drop to test. Its a new method I am playing with.

Maybe an idea would be to include, in the list-links-inline macro, a second attribute called tag and this results in the output "prose" list and the tag button for easy reorganization. Once reorganized, the user removes this attribute in the macrocall.
I agree it's annoying to not access "reorganization" of a list easily (and while going via a tag pill works, it is very opinionated and arbitrary).

Regarding your shared files,

How would I host the .tid file in my wiki? I naively downloaded it and dragged it into a wiki but that didn't result in a working tiddler.

And the json file seems to be the critical tids plus the documentation tiddler, I'm not sure what I can do with it. Does it bring benefit over DnD'ing the files from the tiddlyspot link?

Thanks

<:-)
