beginning to understand

[Eneko Gotzon]

Hi all Byte Masters!

I think I begin to understand what TW is and what it offers.

I have begun to use it to write poetry (being each poem a tiddler). I think the markup capabilities of TW can offer interesting linking and browsing capabilities between the verses.

I believe that for me, humble beginner, it is a good choice to start saving my tiddlers as plain text (but doing that ​I guess the markup capabilities within the text –i.e., poems– are lost.).

Thank​ you very much for this promising app!

I imagine you want text mode so that the line breaks fall naturally.

If you use 3 quote marks at the top of a TW5 style tiddler ("""), you will get text-like lines and much (but not all) of the formatting ability.

Glad you're enjoying TW and finding it useful for your needs, Eneko :)

When you look at it, though, any of the formats that you can export your tiddlers (Poems, in your case) in, are all plain text files, each just formatted a little differently so that they can be read back into your wiki.

Try exporting one of your poems as each of a .tid, a .json, a .csv and an .html file and then look at each one with a text editor (even Windows Notepad will do ;) ) - You'll see that your original, plain-text data is in there, just formatted in a certain way or with some added bits of html markup.

Also, your formatting (markup) can be saved if you export as HTML, and you have the added convenience of being able to view that page in any web browser, and it will look just as it did when you created it in TW :)

You can use Microsoft word or Libreoffice to write your works - just save them using save as type "html". This will generate the tags required for the formatting.

​Thank you Rizwan.

For now I will continue using TW5 because it seems an interesting software.

Interesting, exciting… ​Thank you Thomas.

Hmm … looks like Google deleted my previous post (classified as spam). I try to post the link to Steve’s course once more:

Hope, this stays here.

Was my link classified as spam again?! This is the same destination without redirect: https://designwritestudio.github.io/

Good night!

My in-house "consultant" suggests that probably all link-shortening services are viewed suspiciously.

Thank you both for the hints. I posted a link over in the forum of the course (https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/designwrite)
Have a nice day!

Totally agree with you, Eneko - which is why I have used it to create a very unique ebook
The ability to format and deliver more attractive and appropriate content leaves ePUB etc for dead.
Get a free copy of my wife's "tw-book" version of her book on my recent post.
I would love to see what you are doing with your poetry.....

cheers JOHN
