v1.0.1 Update brings the following:

## 1.0.1

- Fixed snippets to correctly render widget syntax, `<$button> </$button>`.

- Added a very nifty "Tiddler Metadata" snippet, `tid`, which will insert a block of tiddler meta-data fields into an empty *.tid file. Just type `tid` and press tab. `created` and `modified` fields come automatically timestamped, and you can tab to move between field values.

-- Very neat, thanks a lot to "_Phi / hpx1" for this snippet!

thanks for the update and credit. I also made a small tweak to the `tid` snippet to add a dropdown list for the content-type (no more guesswork):

        "Tiddler Metadata": {
            "prefix": "tid",
            "body": [
                "created: $CURRENT_YEAR$CURRENT_MONTH$CURRENT_DATE$CURRENT_HOUR$CURRENT_MINUTE${CURRENT_SECOND}000",
                "modified: $CURRENT_YEAR$CURRENT_MONTH$CURRENT_DATE$CURRENT_HOUR$CURRENT_MINUTE${CURRENT_SECOND}333",
                "tags: ${1:spaceseparator}",
                "title: ${2:$TM_FILENAME_BASE}",
                "type: ${3|text/vnd.tiddlywiki,text/css,text/x-markdown,text/html,text/csv,text/plain,application/javascript,application/json,image/svg+xml|}",
                "$0"
            ],
            "description": "insert tiddler metadata"
        }

it looks like this :

either place in user snippets or it's also possible to manually update the json snippet in %USERPROFILES%\.vscode\extensions\joshua-fontany.tw5-syntax-1.0.1\snippets.

Joshua, I'm making a pull request on GitHub for this small modification.

cheers.

Josua,

Do I understand correctly this only works in the Visual Studio code editor?

I would be keen to get this to work properly in a tiddlywiki editor such as codemirror but I have not seen a tiddlywiki aware code highlighter.

Is there a practical way to maintain a single syntax library?

Regards

Tony
