Hiding the author, date, etc information in a tiddler

[LoB]

Hello again,

Another newbie question. Expect more. :P

I would like to hide the subtitle showing the author, date created,
date modified, etc in my tiddlers. I browsed through some of the
previous questions on this topic and learned that if I place the
following into my StyleSheet I can achieve that:

.tiddler .subtitle { display:none; }

If I use that bit there, will it keep from recording the information
altogether? In other words, if I go back and remove that bit of code
from my stylesheet at a later date, will the information appear in my
tiddlers? I don't know that I'll ever really need it, so it isn't
really necessary, but it would be nice to have the option.

I imported a tiddler with a script to hide the subtitle but nothing
happened after I saved and reloaded the page. Not sure if I did
something wrong or not. I didn't have any problem with importing
plugins though.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

The information will be retained - the CSS code in your StyleSheet will
simply hide it (prevent it from being rendered). So you can always go
back if you like.

You don't need to import this like a plugin; simply add the code to your
StyleSheet (accessible via the sidebar tabs' More > Shadowed menu):
.tiddler .subtitle {
display: none;
}

HTH.

Excellent! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Right. I understand that part now. I was referring to a separate issue
with importing plugins that just made me wonder what the heck was
going on. That's sort of the reason I was looking for an alternate
solution. Thanks very much for your help!
