Bulk Import of Desired Tags in a Plain TXT File

[Qalisto]

Dear Tiddlipudlians-

Let us say I have a simple text file consisting of a single column of Tags which I extracted from my prior (and ... likely to be obsoleted by TW5) PIM.

Is there a way to correctly format and then Import these Tags into "capsules" which will be assignable to future Tiddlers?

OR must I add them manually only upon creation of a Tiddler requiring said Tag?

Trying to avoid reinvention of wheels where possible.

Thank you.

You can create one tiddler that has all your tags. Then the tags will be ready when you need them. You can even

hide the tiddler a little by giving it a title like $:/mytags .

If you have lots of tiddlers, you could use a text editor to format them like:

title: mytaglist

tags: tag1 [[tag with space]] tag2 [[some other tag]]

Give it a file name with a tid extension (e.g. mytaglist.tid). Then drag and drop into your target tiddler.

Thank you Mark, I can certainly reformat the file to horizontal sequence and try this.
