If you read https://tiddlywiki.com/#StateMechanism and click in the link (see the NavigationMechanism) to open https://tiddlywiki.com/#NavigationMechanism you can't find the documentation of this mechamism because the tiddler is missing.

Maybe you can add it and update this vesion of the Tiddlywiki documentation.

You are right Luis, no wonder I've been going round in circles!
Is this any help?

Luis,

To ensure clarity, it is not missing in Tiddlywiki 5.1.19
as this is not normally in the empty.html it is only part of the documentation on tiddlywiki.com

It may be missing on tiddlywiki.com but that is the extent of it.

Regards

Tony

?¿?¿??¿Is missing on tiddlywiki.com but not in tiddlywiki.com :?¿?¿?¿??

I don't understand you . Let me explain:

I open https://tiddlywiki.com/. I go to the Contents, Reference, Mechanisms and open the tiddler StateMechanism. I start reading it. In the middle of the tiddler I can see this line:

history: references the tiddler to be used to store the history stack (see the NavigationMechanism)

so I try to read this NavigationMechanism tiddler. When I open this link, tiddlywiki says than there is no tiddler called NavigationMechanism.

I am very very sorry. I came from Spain and maybe my english proficiency is not accurate

I'll try:

El widget/mechanismo no se falta, solo es un error en el link.

(Anybody impressed!? No? Oh...)

I'm starting to understand the underlays of tiddlywiki so all information is welcome. I use to program in python so maybe I have to read a little about javascript.

I have many macros and a few personalized wikis. I think tiddlywiki is a very funny puzzle: templates, system tags and tiddlers, buttons, checkboxes...You can do very funny things with it.

That won't hurt. .. One of the best books I've found is: https://eloquentjavascript.net/ ... The guy which made codemirror.net

If you are a programmer. https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/ will have some really low level info.

Yea, I think TW is the only wiki, which lets "end users" create custom UIs, down to the core of the system.
