Not the next big thing but still pretty nifty.
Simple tiddlers for utility tabs for the tab macro for easy ways to customize the tabs macro without having to mess with the macro or its templates.
The blank spacer tab:
Simply a tiddler with a blank text field and " " for the caption field so it displays a blank tab for a spacer/separator tab in crowded tabs that containing many tabs. The width of the blank tab is determined by number of spaces and " " you use in the caption field.
A ready to use example tiddler (zz# spacer tab1) is attached.
If you want multiple spacers in the same macro, you need to have multiple spacer tidders, because if you repeat the name of a spacer tiddler, the filter will ignore it, so if you want 5 spacers you need to have zz# spacer tab1 - zz# spacer tab5. Those 5 tiddlers can be re-used in other tabs macros.
You could also insert unicode symbols or built in TW svg icons in the caption field if you want icon type spacer/separators as seen in the screenshot. Good for making certain tabs stand out.
The tab display collapse tab:
For those that like to stack multiple separate tabs macros or use the tab maceo amidst other page content, and want an easy way to collapse the tanscluded display, this tab will do it.
Simply a tiddler with a blank text field and " CLOSE ``X`` " for the caption field so clicking on it and the whole tabs tanscluded display will collapse since there's nothing to transclude (because of the empty text field).
A ready to use example tiddler (zz# collapse tab) is attached.
The blank spacer/separator tabs will do the same thing, click on their tab and since their text fields are empty, the whole tabs tanscluded display will collapse.
How to use them:
<<tabs " [[zz# spacer tab2]] [[tiddler name]] [[zz# spacer tab21]] [[tiddler name2]] [[tiddler name3]] [[zz# spacer tab1]] [[tiddler name4]] [[tiddler name5]] [[zz# collapse tab]]" "" "" >>
zz# spacer tab1.tid - ready to use tiddler
zz# collapse tab.tid - ready to use tiddler
