I have looked at the structure of normal tiddlers and they look to be simple data records, functionally rather like those in a flat-file database.
I been toying with the idea of mass conversion of texts to TW with the texts pre-chunked directly to tiddler format.
As far as I can see it would be quite easy to write tiddlers directly into an empty TW, rather than have to go through the extra step of JSON import.
BUT I was just wondering if that might create problems on internal indexing? What I mean is on IMPORT is more than the record created that would prevent the bulk written-in Tiddlers being fully accessible?
Best wishes

Hi Josiah
I think you're asking whether it is possible to splice tiddler records directly into the HTML file. The answer is that it, yes, absolutely it works fine: it is in fact how serversides like TiddlyWeb work; they figure out which tiddlers should be included, and then insert their <div> representation into the empty.html file.
Best wishes

Hi Josiah,
The TW "indexing" is created on the fly. .. So you should be able to modify the html file directly. ... BUT ... You need to take care of some "html" escaping and you need to do some code sanitation, to avoid "evil code".
eg: remove <script> tags, remove onXXX events and so on. .. but if you import stuff from text and not from html pages, you probably can forget about the sanitation.
Just some html escaping will be needed.

Ciao Mario
I noticed that html escaping is important and I would need to understand that better.
But its great "indexing" is done on the fly. That opens up lots of possibilities for auto-creation.

Ciao Jeremy
That is a rather marvelous thing. I don't know anything else that you could directly insert babies into that the parent could sort out so neatly.
