5.1.22-prerelease update online

[TonyM]

For those interested I see that the Pre-release has being updated.

I am of course interested in the changes to come, and observe many are not yet documented. 

Here are a couple of quick notes;

• I have tested the freelinking plugin, it is great. I wonder if there could be an option to include exclude this operating on the current tiddler title, since when displayed on the currentTiddler it in fact seems to do nothing. Perhaps even allow the highlight/a different highlight but not as a link.
• It would be interesting to know what if there were a way to do this for captions as well, with a link to the tiddler.
• It is interesting how freelinking makes even the pre-release edition improved with additional links generated. 
• I am curious about what Jasmin is for, as will others if it is documented in the new release
• I understand there is a new parser release. Is there any improved or changed way we can add items to the parser?, I would dearly like to add a "." at the beginning of a line to wrap the text in a html paragraph. 

Thanks all for your work

FYI, I wonder if a Powershell tool to alert you when pre-release changes could be worth the effort?

Part of our problem is keeping up. Worth a thought.

Hi Tony

For those interested I see that the Pre-release has being updated.

I think you’re referring to the recent update I made to the release notes:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/a339491cc04c7d85d4d0f4bf39d74907012cdec0

The release note often lags behind the latest state of the prerelease. In this case, I hadn’t updated the release note since October, but there has been a steady stream of updates in the meantime. You can see the raw updates to the prerelease by following the commits:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commits/master

I am of course interested in the changes to come, and observe many are not yet documented. 

Which ones?

Here are a couple of quick notes;

• I have tested the freelinking plugin, it is great. I wonder if there could be an option to include exclude this operating on the current tiddler title, since when displayed on the currentTiddler it in fact seems to do nothing. Perhaps even allow the highlight/a different highlight but not as a link.

Good idea, I’ll look into it.

• It would be interesting to know what if there were a way to do this for captions as well, with a link to the tiddler.

The plugin could be changed to do that, but it would start to raise the question of what would be done if two tiddlers had the same caption.

• It is interesting how freelinking makes even the pre-release edition improved with additional links generated. 

Yes, I like it, the performance is the main problem for me.

• I am curious about what Jasmin is for, as will others if it is documented in the new release

Jasmine is the software library we use for managing TiddlyWiki’s unit tests:

https://jasmine.github.io/

• I understand there is a new parser release. Is there any improved or changed way we can add items to the parser?, I would dearly like to add a "." at the beginning of a line to wrap the text in a html paragraph. 

There is no new parser as part of this release.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks all for your work

Jeremy,

I am of course interested in the changes to come, and observe many are not yet documented. 

Which ones?

 

This is not a criticism but an observation, I understand this is a work in progress

In the Usability Improvements and Hackability Improvements lists all have links to the github item, but not all have a link to an extended explanation within the tiddlywiki, or documentation updates, eg the ButtonWidget does not include the tabindex parameter. 

If I had a little more intermediate doco, even a rough, I may be able to contribute to the documentation before release.

There is no new parser as part of this release.

Sorry, I misread an issue somewhere. 

However I read of others introducing additional markup is there documentation or hackability that would allow us to add a little markup for desirable cases. My sentence leading period parsed into a html paragraph would be valuable for formating content with different line break formats, it would also help with stream of conscious writing to generate paragraphs or standalone sentences (also paragraphs). 

I can do the equivalent in the editor toolbar but then the paragraph tags need to become part of the text field, making it less usable in other cases. Just as we can add buttons a method to add a parsing rule using a similar approach to editor Toolbar actions would be very helpful in this case, but possibly for other innovations, where special pragma can be introduced to tiddlers with non wiki markup to render them more effectively without edit (other than applying the pragma) unless we can apply pragma in the view template or by additional tiddler types.

Jeremy,

• It would be interesting to know what if there were a way to do this for captions as well, with a link to the tiddler.

The plugin could be changed to do that, but it would start to raise the question of what would be done if two tiddlers had the same caption.

For a future release the ability to autolink to multiples with the same caption may provide an interesting possibility. Perhaps a Tag pill like option that shows the different tiddlers sharing that caption.

• It is interesting how freelinking makes even the pre-release edition improved with additional links generated. 

Yes, I like it, the performance is the main problem for me.

I understand, There is great utility in this and many smaller wikis should not have a problem. If there are optimisations or indexes that can help with performance they would I believe be a valuable enhancement, taking the nonlinearity further. I wonder if there is a way to Quantify this so someone can see the performance impact of freelinking.

Thanks

Jeremy,

Sorry, Not a parser but  markdown library

• I understand there is a new parser release. Is there any improved or changed way we can add items to the parser?, I would dearly like to add a "." at the beginning of a line to wrap the text in a html paragraph. 

There is no new parser as part of this release.

In pre-release

Markdown plugin

• Switched to the newer and improved remarkable library

 So my eyes lit up with the red highlights below

remarkable

   

Markdown parser done right. Fast and easy to extend.

Live demo

• Supports the CommonMark spec + syntax extensions + sugar (URL autolinking, typographer).
• Configurable syntax! You can add new rules and even replace existing ones.

Regards

Tony
