How to make a tree structure of the notes?

[imleg...@gmail.com]

When I use tiddly I find it is easy to make a small piece of knowledge? But I really need to make a tree structure of the notes, because the notes I took are too scattered which make it hard to build a summary view of the knowledge

In TiddlyWiki, you can create a tree structure with tags (TW documentation; Grok TiddlyWiki). Then you can make a table of contents to display them (TW documentation; Grok TiddlyWiki).

I would caution that trying to organize your whole wiki into a tree structure can be limiting. Hierarchies where everything goes in one place are nice and orderly, but they make it harder to reuse ideas in different contexts. So I tend to prefer linking as a primary means of organizing content, and then creating smaller clusters of tree-structured notes within the wiki where needed.

What Soren said, but in TW you can also make a tree based on title structure like:

Dutch/grammar/Conjunctions

Dutch/grammar/Pronouns

Dutch/reference/ANW

and then display it with the tree macro. My current note taking system uses tags for the big "trunk" picture and then uses titles for the finer, "leaf" structure so as not to create excess tags.

If you use something like Stroll, then  you are also effectively creating a tree structure based on links .

Hi imleg,

as a first approach you could use Saq`s streams-plugin

This is a really cool idea! I don't think I've seen this one before, I'll have to give it a try.

You can use my tocP plugin, which allows you to create a TOC based on a "parent" field .. where "parent"  is just a convention. You can use any field name you want. ... so you can use tabs for "overall grouping" and create different trees with tocP

See. https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/tocP/

Have fun!

not "tabs" -> should be tags

Imleg,

As others have shown you it is easy to make tree structures in tiddlywiki, in fact tiddlywiki allows you to show many different structures; lists, trees, networks and much more.

Using the Table of Contents macros is the first one most use https://tiddlywiki.com/#TableOfContents and there are various forms

• You can use any tag with the TOC macros
• Then in each tiddler simply use the New Here button to create new children

If you want to get sophisticated you can make your own macros to list trees, Marios TocP plugin or even Bimlas's kin filter.

Before I finish, systems tiddlers use the "\" to name tiddlers and the tree macro will generate a tree from them.

Example TOC

Example Tree Macro

I can share more but lets learn more about what you need.
