Just curious: what is the "bag" tag used for?

Ha. Tag? Don't think so. But it is maybe a reserved field. I know that as I once tried to use it!

I have NO idea what it does.

Hi,
The "bag - field" is internally used by the TiddlyWeb adaptor. ... "bags" and "recipes" where used by TiddlySpace, which doesn't exist anymore. .. BUT the specification worked very well.

-------------
Only needed, if you really want to know, the background. The existing TW-server kept some of the url-paths, but didn't implement the spec!

You can get more very technical info at: https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/tiddlyweb/bag for more.

Ha! I just tried adding a field called "bag" to a TW in the editor. It won't accept it. I assume we are honoring TiddlySpace legacy in that behavior?

Best wishes, TT

Yes, I did mean field and not tag. :|

I just saw the "bag" field in a few of my tiddlers and wasn't sure how they got there.

Not really. ... The "bag" and "recipe" mechanism is still a valid concept that works with the right backend. ... and it works with TW5. So it's there for compatibility reasons.

Take a lightly toasted Gucci and add basil in a marinate :-) .

More seriously, PMario points to a good, still present, (compatability) mechanism in TW for saving wiki.

The field *is* added, it’s just that the “bag” field is hidden from the field list in the edit template. You can check using the tiddler info panel.

Best wishes

It is actually useful to know that for me. It is a purely personal like for the word "bag". I use it outside TW extensively to mean a kind of "suitcase"---a container category. Knowing I can use it safely in TW is good news. I don't need see it so long as I know it is there.

So, thanks!

You __can not__ use it safely! It will cause problems as soon as you want to work with a server-side!
