Generating a static site from a Stroll Tiddlywiki

[Nirmal Thacker]

I've been using Tiddlywiki+Stroll [https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html] since I quite like the idea of backlinks, auto-completion links and the 2 column layout. However when I generate a static site from Stroll, backlinks and most of the formatting abilities are lost. 

My process of generating a static site from a Tiddlywiki+Stroll set up is as follows:

1. Using the Node TW5 tiddlywiki, generate a new wiki

2. Load the Tiddlywiki+Stroll HTML into the new wiki (tiddlywiki --load)

3. Generate a static site as per these instructions: https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Generating%2520Static%2520Sites%2520with%2520TiddlyWiki.html

4. Move the static files to the desired location and clean up

I understand why this may lose all the Stroll configurations, however the alternative does not work either - Directly export a static site from the Tools pane on a Stroll + Tiddlywiki site, which you can try on the authors page linked above. In fact this method creates a flat HTML page with no backlinks or formatting.

Any ideas what would be the right way to approach this? 

Thanks!
