Timeline macro

[Dave Gifford - http://www.giffmex.org/]

Hi all

The recent changes that show what has changed in version 2.2.5
mentions a third parameter for the timeline macro. Can someone give me
the full syntax now that the parameters have been changed?

Thanks

The new parameter is for the date format.
So the three parameters are:
1. date to sort by ("modified" by default; could also be "created")
2. maximum length (amount of tiddlers to show; all by default)
3. date format (e.g. "ddd, YYYY-0MM-0DD")

So, for example the following would show all tiddlers, sorted by their
modified date, and using a custom date format:
<<timeline "" "" "ddd, YYYY-0MM-0DD">>

Is this understandable? If so, I'll add it to the wiki:

This is a known issue with Firefox:
http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/ticket/629

The parentheses should be encoded in the URI. Firefox displays it in
decoded form to be more user-friendly - unfortunately, copy & paste
doesn't give you the original (encoded) URI.
As you can see from the ticket, there's nothing we can do about that.
