How do I modify the wikitex syntax for definitions (semicolon) ?

[pedruchini]

Would it be possible to modify the semicolon markup (for definitions) so that it renders in normal letters insted of bold letter?

When you write this:

;term

:definition

what you get is this:

<dt><b>term</b></dt>

<dd>definition</dd>

But what I want is this:

<dt>term</dt>

<dd>definition</dd>

I would like to change the behavior of the semicolon for my whole TW, so I suppose I have to modify a core tiddler.

Thanks in advance.

Hi pedruchini,

$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base contains:

dl dt { font-weight: bold; margin-top: 6px; }

To overwrite it:

Create a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet which contains:

dl dt { font-weight: normal; }

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ton

Thank you, Ton.

Your guides are very useful: http://tongerner.tiddlyspot.com

Now I will try to modify other elements, just for fun.

Cheers,

Pedro

It may not be obvious. .. Please do _not_ change the core stylesheet. It may cause problems in the future.

Ceate a new tiddler eg: myStyles and tag it: $:/tags/Stylesheet

Ton's info is correct, but could be interpreted as changing the core settings.
