Top level template

[joearms]

When I start a TW I see a certain page layout - I assume that this layout

is determined by a template, with transclusions in it.

Where do I start reading the code - what's the name of the top-level

tiddler ie the template that (or tiddler) that determines how the

first thing I see looks on screen?

Cheers

Yes, just that.

The top level page template is $:/core/ui/PageTemplate:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/PageTemplate.tid

The top level CSS style template is $:/core/ui/PageStylesheet:

Brilliant - I think the reply should be tagged "Rosetta stone" -

Seriously THIS is the stuff I really want to know - I'm not so bothered about the translation of

WikiText into HTML.

I think we need a book in the style of "TiddlyWiki the good bits for programmers"

Knowing the first line of code to be executed is often the key to understanding anything.

Thanks again
