Hello,

I'm setting up a collection of TiddlyWiki files (straight HTML, not Node-based or anything special) and have a Tiddler I've been importing to all of the TiddlyWiki files, which is a list of the TiddlyWiki files.  Let me explain:

I'm creating several "Notebooks", each notebook is a single TiddlyWiki file.  Currently, I have a "Notebooks" Tiddler which I maintain a list of all the notebooks (with links to them).  I want this Tiddler in all of my Notebooks.  To do so, everytime I update the "Notebooks" Tiddler in a master file, I then need to import it to all of my other notebooks TiddlyWiki files.

My hopeful solution, was to create this "Notebooks" Tiddler in a single location, and just have every other notebook file point to the "master list".  So, given any Notebook TiddlyWiki file, when the user clicks on the "Notebooks" tab or link, the TiddlyWiki file will not import, just go pull the Tiddler from the master location.

For example, perhaps I am currently viewing CoolInformation.html and could have something like:

[ext[Notebooks|/path/to/master.html#ListOfNotebooks]]

However, this will open a new tab with the master.html file.  I'm wondering if there is a way to "pull" the "ListOfNotebooks" Tiddler for viewing as if it was already in the CoolInformation.html file?

Thanks!

P.S. I've been putting HTML formatting in these emails.  Is this acceptable?  Some mailing lists frown upon it and prefer strict text.
