Possible to include/transclude contents of an external text file into a tiddler?

[Matthew Petty]

I have settled on using todo.txt (http://todotxt.com/) to manage my todo list. I recommend it. I still use TW5 for more in-depth note-taking and organization. My todo.txt lives in Dropbox, near my TiddlyWiki file. Is it possible to transclude the contents of the todo file into a tiddler? Can it be done with a relative path, so that it will work whereever I access my TW from?

Not trying to convince you otherwise...

May I ask why the decision to use that and not TiddlyWiki?

Specifically, what was (mostly) missing in TiddlyWiki that you get with todotxt.com?

(preferably indicating importance: 10-high / 1-low)

Is it possible to transclude the contents of the todo file into a tiddler?

Can it be done with a relative path, so that it will work whereever I access my TW from? 

This...

<object data="./text.txt" type="text/plain" style="width:100%;height:400px;" scrolling:yes>
<a href="./text.txt">text.txt</a> (embedding not supported)
</object>

...works for me.

Best wishes, Tobias.

I couldn't get this code to work with a local file. Does it only work with http ?

For organizing daily tasks stored in plain text, emacs org-mode has loads of functionality and a wide user base.

Is there a good meta-app for task management in TW5? OM will let you quickly see a calendar for today, change dates, priorities, tags, statuses, and edit tasks.

I got it to work by copying Tobias code and put in a local file like this:

<object data="file:///C:/Users/........" type="text/plain" style="width:100%;height:400px;" scrolling:yes>
<a href="file:///C:/Users/.........." target="_blank">EnTiddler.tid</a> (missing or not supported)
</object>

Thanks! Seems to be another situation where the code is case sensitive.

Thanks Tobias, that works great.
The reason I'm using todo.txt for task management is the mobile aspect and the flexibility. I have a windows client at work, a linux client at home, an Android app, and if necessary I can edit the todo.txt directly.

Whatever system works best for you is ... best ... of course, But just a note that TW5 works on FF in  windows, Linux, and Android tablets.
