Embedding TiddlyWiki syntax in BAM: a ridiculous yet interesting example

[Charlie Veniot]

BASIC Anywhere Machine

```

<$list filter="[tag[.bas]first[10]]">

print "{{!!title}}"
</$list>

```

Totally ridiculous example, and not at all practical (the BAM console window is an HTML canvas, and does not handle screen scrolling/wrapping at all.)  But imagine graphics, or text processing returned to TiddlyWiki via browser local/session storage.

Or dynamically generating BASIC code at runtime.  Like DATA statements, or anything else imaginable.

This works because of wikification of a BASIC program before dynamically creating the HTML that will be fed to an iframe.

Although I doubt it will ever be a problem, it is important to make sure that there is absolutely nothing in BASIC syntax that could be mistakenly wikified.

Seeing as I'm not particularly confident of my ability to communicate in words the thoughts (well parsed-out from all of the other intertwingled ones) in my head, I'm thinking a good idea to add a screenshot.

A great benefit of hosting a programming language in TiddlyWiki:  instant "metaprogramming" characteristics.

Just another silly example to test out the varsWidget:
