Remove .html when linking to pages

[Anne-Laure Le Cunff]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to host one of my wikis on GitHub pages. It's working great so far, except that each page links to filnemame.html, which doesn't look nice. Is there a way to avoid this when exporting to a static website?

I cannot use .htaccess on github pages, so would need the URLs in the <a href="#"> themselves to look like https://tiddlywiki.com/filename instead of https://tiddlywiki.com/filename.html

Github already supports displaying the content of https://tiddlywiki.com/filename.html when accessed from https://tiddlywiki.com/filename

Thank you!

Anne-Laure.

Create a folder named filename
Keep your html file inside it and rename it index.html

Now you can link to it as www.mysite.com/filename

Thanks! That's the only solution I found but it's very manual and not best practice either.

Hi Anne-Laure

Historically we use the HTML extension for static exports because some browsers get confused viewing HTML files without an extension from a file:// URI.

You can change things by taking a copy of the template $:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html and changing the first line from:

\define tv-wikilink-template() $uri_doubleencoded$.html

to:

\define tv-wikilink-template() $uri_doubleencoded$

To render tiddlers using that template, you’d use a command like this, substituting the name of your modified template for the last argument.

--render "[!is[system]]" "[encodeuricomponent[]]" "text/html" "$:/core/templates/static.tiddler.html”

I cannot use .htaccess on github pages, so would need the URLs in the <a href="#"> themselves to look like https://tiddlywiki.com/filename instead of https://tiddlywiki.com/filename.html

Github already supports displaying the content of https://tiddlywiki.com/filename.html when accessed from https://tiddlywiki.com/filename

Awesome, I had no idea. Just tested it with https://tiddlywiki.com/index which happily behaves as if it was https://tiddlywiki.com/index.html.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thank you!

Anne-Laure.
