[TWC] Copying refence guide

[Alan Winterrowd]

I play around on a couple different wikis, and other sites that use markups, as well as TWC.  I am always confused as to the various markups, so I go to the Reference Guide often.

Is there an easy way to copy the entire reference guide and paste it into local TW?  I was in the car working on some ideas, and couldn't get to thew eb to get to the reference guide and it was very frustrating. I would love to copy the entire Ref Guide to an empty TW and use it as my base for future TWs.

Thanks.

Hi,
You can download the 'entire' TiddlyWiki site http://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted for local reference or to drag tiddlers you want for reference to your own TW. Back on TW5.1.5 I tried to make my own TW with references ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hjdhlbvya1yyppf/ec4FNmB1.htm ) but that quickly increases the size of the TW and adds content that obscures your own content. I compromised after Tobias Beer came up with his Markup Reference. Now I use it and some things I made for my own reference with a few tiddlers imported from the TWsite.

If you are just looking for a markup reference you might consider Tobias Beer's Markup Reference http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Markup%20Reference you could that tiddler into your TW. I'm attaching my copy of Tobias' reference, download and drag into your TW. Just tag it to appear were you want in your TW.

I believe Alan is only concerned with TWC though (no?) 

But, actually, what is "the Reference Guide"?

Oops, missed that, thought he was referring to the Reference section at Tiddlywiki.com Seems to have been a few more questions on TWC than usual recently.

I remember TWC and copy and paste tiddlers, like Basic Formatting, into my empty TW to make my own master with references. I think I eventually found a way that was a bit easier but don't remember details now. I forget how to transfer tiddlers from one TW to another in TWC.

Sorry, Alan, you still should be able save a copy of the site http://classic.tiddlywiki.com/ locally for reference.

OK, did a quick look back at Classic version 2.8.1. You can probably use Import from the Backstage, in the upper right corner. Can't say just which tiddlers you
will have to import, depends on how you want your homemade reference to work and how much information you want.

1. Download and extract a new copy of TWC empty.htm from http://classic.tiddlywiki.com
2. Open the empty TWC and open the backstage.
3. Open the Import tab.
4. Enter the URL for the TWC to import from. Could be TWC home http://classic.tiddlywiki.com or a short version focused on the reference material
http://tiddlywiki-com-ref.tiddlyspace.com/#
5. Click Open.
6. Select all the tiddlers you want to import.
7. Check "Keep these tiddlers linked to this server so that you can synchronise subsequent changes" to import the actual tiddlers.
8. List of imported tiddlers is displayed, click Done.
9. Imported tiddlers should now be available.

For an illustrated version see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/sh/h8q01y5kygoyhch/AAB88H2CEZP_IAdzc1AJBYN8a/5-1-7_left-menu_custom.htm#TWClassic%20Import%20Tiddlers

Hope that helps for your TWC references.
