How can I embed only a tiddler's body in an iframe? The tiddler is in another wiki, so it's not a case for transclusion. If I use a permalink, the iframe shows the whole other wiki page scrolled to that tiddler. I'd like to see nothing but the body of the tiddler in the iframe. I know it's possible because "open in new window" button does a similar thing, but I was not able to understand how it works. Or perhaps there is a better way altogether to achieve the goal, which is to somehow display a tiddler that actually "lives" in another wiki. Either in the story (the whole tiddler), or inside an iframe ("text" field only).

RA,

I have requested something similar before, however be aware to display a single tiddler needs the whole of tiddlywiki. There is possibly a way to use the newly released single tiddler mode but I have not worked it out yet. ee https://tiddlywiki.com/#Using%20the%20read-only%20single%20tiddler%20view But I believe this needs a node server.

I wanted something of the nature you suggest, but open in new window, for the record, is only displaying the result of the text field (and not other elements in the tiddler).

Another opportunity, if that tiddler is somewhat unchanging is to export it as html and either reference that file, or import it to the first location. 

Regards
Tony
