console browsers, links2, elinks, lynx, etc

[thewtex]

Hi,

I would like to save a copy of the tiddlywiki in a version readable in
console text-only browsers such as links2, elinks, lynx, etc.

Is there a way to do this? I see there is an xhtml plugin here:
http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/
, which is close, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

There's something in the works with regards to creating static HTML
pages from TiddlyWiki document - but it might be a while until it's
production ready.

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#NewDocumentPlugin

in addition to creating new TW documents from existing ones, this
plugin also can take a 'snapshot' of the currently rendered document,
and write THAT to a file as static HTML (with NO javascript).

Example usage:
<<newDocument ask snap>>
(prompts for filename, snapshot is of entire page)
<<newDocument ask snap displayArea>>
(prompts for filename, snapshot is of tiddler 'story column' only)

What you get is a perfect reproduction of the *displayed content*,
(CSS styles and all) but because there is NO javascript code written
into the snapshot, even simple processing (such as mouseover
highlighting) will not function. You can't click a TiddlyLink to open
other tiddlers, because A) there is no code that handles the click and
B) there is no underlying 'storeArea' (and core code) to retrieve and
render anything! You also can't use ANY command links, since these
also require javascript code (and the core) to operate.

This is literally a case of "what you see is what you get"... and
nothing more.

HTH,

Thanks, FND. Is there code I can try out or a project management
system/bug tracker I can keep an eye on?

Hi thewtex,

I think it's this thread where they talk about:

Thanks for the file and explanation, Eric. I have a simple site, so I
will try to find a way to script generation of the tidders from the
MainMenu, use your plugin, then try to hack in hyperlinks.

Pretty much - although this is still at an early stage right now.
