[TW5] How to show Contents tab?

[Chuck R.]

I noticed on http://rich-text-editor.tiddlyspot.com/ in the sidebar there is a Contents tab. But my 5.1.11 TiddlyWiki doesn't have a Contents tab. How do I turn that on?

Thank you again!

Here's a first step

Then look for Table of Contents macro on tiddlywiki.com

Hi Mat,

This is such a common request. I remember asking the same when I first started using TW. Maybe there should be something in the core for this by default? Maybe just a link to the TW docs, like you gave above, but from the distributable itself? Just throwing ideas out there. What do you think?

Probably not in the core plugin but I do think a "help plugin" would be valuable. One idea which has been discussed is to turn the docs into a plugin. And one could imagine a "beginners edition" where this was included. However, I think the current administrative infrastructure hinders such ideas because it would put too much administrative burden on Jeremy.

IMO to solve this we'd really need a totally different infrastructure. I mean, even the docs are not enough - as clearly evidenced by this very board. I think TWederation is the only way we could solve this in a realistic way. It would allow us to build a federated knowledge base kind of like interacting wikipedias or StackOverflows everywhere. Easier said that done - but Jed has taken the first steps with me cheering in the background. I hope to pick up on it pretty soon again. (must just finish this other suuuper cool TW thing or three that I'm working on...)

Well, the help file is a tiddywiki itself and is freely downloadable. So I can download it and call it "twhelp.html" or something similar. But at least putting a link in the help tiddlywiki would be helpful.

In the prerelease (which "permanent temporary demo" of what is to come in the next release), Jeremy experimented with a help feature in the sidebar - see the speech bubble button. If you like this you're very welcome to give feedback on it and, who knows, maybe it'll turn into something eventually.

I’ve added a documentation tiddler for adding a table of contents tab:

Best wishes
