Has anybody written any code to derive a TW from 

   - a set of postings to a forum
   - postings to a mailing list
   - a set of HTML documents

It occurs to me that h1 tags could be used to split HTML into tiddlers
and things like TF*IDF algorithms could be used to derive keywords

One would also need to transform HTML (or text) into wiki text

You can use the “text-slicer” plugin for that (in the official plugin library). There’s a prebuilt version you can experiment with:


For example, I downloaded the HTML file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiddlyWiki and dragged it into wiki, importing it as a single tiddler in HTML format.


Then I clicked the “text slicer” button, and selected “one tiddler per paragraph in a linear thread”.


The resulting sliced up tiddlers are visible in a sidebar on the left, and you can open them by clicking on them. You can also export the sliced tiddlers using the advanced search tab.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thank you - great fun the play with - this seems to be an area which would benefit from a
lot of work. It would be nice to have some visual tool to select sections of larger web pages
and export the selections as wiki text with full annotations as to where they came from.

Basically a tool to create transclusions :-)

Cheers
