Transcluding Tiddler Content to a Different Tiddler Type (Rendering XML Tiddlers as Plain Text)

[Scott Simmons (Secret-HQ)]

Here's another issue I'm trying to tackle and hoping someone will share some insight:

I have several tiddlers of type "text/html" that contain XML files.  I like having them render out in the ViewTemplate in an iframe.  But occasionally I want to transclude them into another tiddler and have them show up as monospaced code, without being rendered.

I thought I could make a template tiddler and do something like this:

{{my XML tiddler||$:/xml-template}}

... but what should $:/xml-template look like?

Having it specify a different type ("text/plain") alone isn't enough to do the trick.

I've tried building a string from the content of [[my XML tiddler]] and wrapping it in <pre> and </pre> with no luck,

I'm pretty sure I'm stumbling all around an obvious solution and hoping someone else will see it clearly.

Try using the ViewWidget and specifying the format: https://tiddlywiki.com/#ViewWidget

Hi Scott,

If your template contains this:

<$view mode=text/>

It should do what you want.

Is that technically correct?

I see mode= inline and block, and format=text ?
