TiddlyWiki
a reusable non-linear personal web notebook
One
of the neatest features of TiddlyWiki is that it is entirely
self-contained in a single HTML file. It contains the actual hypertext
document, and the JavaScript, CascadingStyleSheets and HTML necessary
to both view and edit the document. This means that it is trivial to
host a TiddlyWiki on a website, or to distribute one by email. And
anyone with a reasonably recent web browser will be able to read and
edit it.
MicroContent
being a fashionable word for self-contained fragments of content that
are typically smaller than entire pages. Often MicroContent is
presented via some kind of aggregation that reduces the perceptual
shock and resource cost of context switching (eg Blogs aggregating
several entries onto a page or Flickr presenting photos in an album).
This TiddlyWiki aggregates MicroContent items that I call 'tiddlers'
into pages that are loaded in one gulp and progressively displayed as
the user clicks hypertext links to read them.
When
it loads, TiddlyWiki looks for the names of tiddlers to open as a
space-separated list after the # in the URL. If there are no tiddlers
in the URL it instead loads the tiddlers named in DefaultTiddlers, one
of the SpecialTiddlers.

IsaoSonobe's
TiddlyWikiPod is a nifty utility for Mac OS X that copies the content
of a TiddlyWiki to an iPod where it can be read, and links followed,
using the touch wheel. Isao has also added the ability to link to songs
from the TiddlyWiki text which enables some interesting applications.
At the moment, it only works with the older SecondVersion of
TiddlyWiki. It can be found at

Putting
TiddlyWiki on a USB thumb drive lets you carry around a SelfContained
notebook that you can update wherever there's a reasonably modern
computer, whether it's a Mac, Linux or a PC. (To be even more
independent you can [[install FireFox on the
drive|http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#oth_usb]] as well).
Edit
this tiddler to see how to create BulletPoints\n* Like this one\n* And
this one\n** And this second-level one\n* And a final one
FireFox
lets you SaveChanges in TiddlyWiki, but you will see up to three
dialogs asking your permission for the local file operations. You must
allow all three operations for it to work properly. Note that you can
select the //Remember this decision// option to avoid seeing the
dialogs in future.
TiddlyWiki
is published under a BSD OpenSourceLicense that gives you the freedom
to use it pretty much however you want, including for commercial
purposes, as long as you keep my copyright notice. I'd appreciate a
link back to http://www.tiddlywiki.com as well.
I'm
Jeremy Ruston, a technologist based in London. I do consultancy work
through my company [[Osmosoft|http://www.osmosoft.com]], as well as
pursuing some independent projects like TiddlyWiki.
TiddlyWiki
is a spare time project that I'm making available under an
OpenSourceLicense. Accordingly, there's no warranty on it, and you can
only use it at your own risk. I am interested in hearing about new bugs
to add to the rather rapidly growing pile; just EmailMe.
Released in September 2004, the [[first version|firstversion.html]] was pretty basic, weighing in at 52KB.
Released
in December 2004, the [[second version|secondversion.html]] of
TiddlyWiki grew 50% over the FirstVersion to 76KB. It added
IncrementalSearch, the ReferencesButton, the PermaLinkButton,
PermaView, CloseAll, SmoothScrolling, an ImprovedSidebar, an animation
for the CloseButton and a tiny EasterEgg in homage to Macintosh OS X.
It also introduced a new SiteDesign.
Because
TiddlyWiki is a single HTML file, you've actually already downloaded
the entire software just by viewing this site. If you want to be able
to SaveChanges, you can save your own TiddlyWiki to your local drive by
right clicking on [[this link|#]] and selecting 'Save link as...' or
'Save target as...'. You can choose where to save the file, and what to
call it (but keep the .HTML extension).
InternetExplorer
on Windows allows you to SaveChanges in TiddlyWiki. It will give you an
ActiveX warning, and ask for your permission to proceed each time. It
should work from version 4, but I have only extensively tested against
version 6. I have found some annoying difficulties with XpServicePack2,
but there's always FireFox.
A
WikiWord is a word composed of a bunch of other words slammed together
with each of their first letters capitalised. WikiWord notation in a
conventional WikiWikiWeb is used to name individual pages while
TiddlyWiki uses WikiWord titles for smaller chunks of MicroContent.
Referring to a page with a WikiWord automatically creates a link to it.
Clicking on a link jumps to that page or, if it doesn't exist, to an
editor to create it. This ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki also adds
NonWikiWordLinks.
To
make a tiddler that doesn't have a WikiWord as it's name, you can
enclose the name in [[double square brackets]] - edit this tiddler to
see an example. After saving the tiddler you can then click on the link
to create the new tiddler. NonWikiWordLinks permits tiddlers to be
created with names that are made from character sets that don't have
upper and lower case.
Thank
you to everybody who has helped me with support and suggestions for
TiddlyWiki, but especially IsaoSonobe for his cunning regular
expression code, and to my friend RebeccaWelby for the SiteDesign.
A
Wiki is a popular way of building collaborative websites. It's based on
the ideas of easy editing of pages and the use of special WikiWord
notation to automagically create links between pages. See Wikipedia for
[[more details|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki]]. TiddlyWiki is
different from a conventional Wiki because it is not based on entire
pages of content, but rather items of MicroContent that are referred to
as 'tiddlers'.
A
row of ToolbarButtons appears to the right of a tiddler title when the
mouse is hovered over it. The buttons are:\n* ''close'' - close the
current tiddler\n* ''edit'' - edit the current tiddler\n* ''permalink''
- puts a link direct to the current tiddler into the address bar\n*
''references'' - displays all the tiddlers that link to the current
tiddler\n* ''done'' - save changes to a tiddler being editted\n*
''cancel'' - cancel changes to a tiddler being editted\n* ''delete'' -
delete the current tiddler
I'm
hoping that after using TiddlyWiki for a while a new WritingStyle will
emerge that is appropriate for this medium. Jakob Neilsen wrote an
article about [[writing
styles|http://www.useit.com/alertbox/980906.html]] for MicroContent
back in 1998 that still seems surprisingly relevant.
TiddlyWiki
doesn't have a server-side back end at the moment, so when you
SaveChanges you're saving the whole document, as you would with
Microsoft Word. That means that it is essentially only really a
SingleUser thing (unless it gets passed round as a ChainTiddlyWiki).
There are several TiddlyWikiAdaptations that //do// have a ServerSide,
though.
It's
easy to make your own TiddlyWiki that you can publish yourself - see
how to SaveChanges for details. If you want to change the layout or the
colour scheme, you'll need some basic HTML and CSS knowledge.
Internet
Explorer Windows XP SP2 seems to have a magical ability to keep track
of html files that have been downloaded from the internet and saved on
an NTFS drive. By storing additional data in an [[alternate data
stream|http://www.jsware.net/jsware/sviewer.html]], it manages to keep
them in the 'Internet Zone' regardless of attempts to rename or modify
the file. But, in order to be able to SaveChanges, TiddlyWiki needs to
run in the 'My Computer Zone'.\n\nThere are a couple of ways around the
problem:\n* save the TiddlyWiki HTML file to a FAT drive (eg a USB
thumb drive)\n* open the downloaded file with a text editor and save it
again under a different name\n\nIn either case, The new file will open
in 'My Computer Zone', which in turn causes Internet Explorer to put up
it's information bar asking you whether you want to run it. You need to
'Allow blocked content' to let TiddlyWiki do it's stuff.\n\nThis is all
a bit frustrating. An easy alternative is to use FireFox, which seems
to do the trick on all platforms.
You
can SaveChanges if you're using FireFox or InternetExplorer:\n# if
you're using Windows XP you might run into ServicePack2Problems\n#
right click on [[this link|#]] and select 'Save link as...' or 'Save
target as...'\n** choose where to save the file, and what to call it
(but keep the .HTML extension)\n# open the newly downloaded file in
your browser\n# click the 'options' button on the right to set your
username\n# edit, create and delete the tiddlers you want\n** you can
change the SpecialTiddlers to change the SiteTitle and MainMenu etc.\n#
click the 'save changes' button on the right to save your changes\n#
TiddlyWiki will make a backup copy of the existing file, and then
replace it with the new version\n
TiddlyWiki
uses several special tiddlers to hold the text used for the MainMenu,
the SiteTitle and the SiteSubtitle. DefaultTiddlers is used to store
the titles of the tiddlers that are shown at startup. SaveChanges is
automatically displayed if there's a problem with saving. Any of them
can be editted with the changes taking effect immediately.
A
TiddlyWiki is like a blog because it's divided up into neat little
chunks, but it encourages you to read it by hyperlinking rather than
sequentially: if you like, a non-linear blog analogue that binds the
individual microcontent items into a cohesive whole. I think that
TiddlyWiki represents a novel medium for writing, and will promote it's
own distinctive WritingStyle. This is the ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki,
which adds several NewFeatures. There are also several
TiddlyWikiAdaptations by other developers based on earlier versions.
I
think this feature from the SecondVersion of TiddlyWiki is quite
original. It's a button in the right-hand sidebar that sets the browser
address bar to a URL embodying all the currently open tiddlers in the
order that they are currently shown. To use it, arrange the open
tiddlers that you want, click the permaview button, copy the URL from
the browser address bar, and then paste it into an email, web page or
whatever.
When
you type more than three characters in the search box at the upper
right, any matching tiddlers are automatically displayed with the text
highlighted. There's a couple of minor issues: the highlights don't get
removed when you clear the search, and occasionally, on some browsers,
keystrokes get missed if you type quickly so you may need to click the
'search' button to manually trigger the search.
TiddlyWiki
has been used as the basis of a couple of experiments in hypertext
fiction. GinaTrapani created [[Baby Dog
Sitter|http://scribbling.net/tiddlywiki-and-non-linear-fiction]] with
the FirstVersion of TiddlyWiki, followed by "[[Die, Vampire!
Die!|http://www.davidvanwert.com/wiki/dievampiredie.html]]" from
DavidVanWert.
The
rules governing where a tiddler is displayed sound complicated written
down. When you click on a tiddler link within another tiddler, the new
one is opened immediately below the current one. If the target tiddler
is already open, TiddlyWiki just uses SmoothScrolling to bring it into
view. More or less the same thing happens when clicking on a tiddler
link within the menu or sidebar, except that the tiddler opens at the
top of the page if it is not already open.
Try
holding down the alt- or shift-key while clicking on a link to a
tiddler, on the 'options' button or on the CloseButton for a tiddler.
Kind of a respectful homage to Mac OS X, which does something similar
for many of its system animations. (On browsers like InternetExplorer
that use the shift key to open a new window, it's best to use the
alt-key).
RegExpSearch
uses JavaScript's [[RegExp
syntax|http://www.programmershelp.co.uk/docs/javascript/regexp.html#1193188]]
to allow flexible searches.

to be FullOfBugs, have many MissingFeatures and fail to meet all of the

While
editing a tiddler:\n* Control-Enter accepts your changes and switches
out of editing mode\n* Escape abandons your changes and reverts the
tiddler to it's previous state
Within
the main story column you can click on bold links to read a linked
tiddler. Click on italic links to create a new tiddler. When you hover
the mouse over a tiddler several ToolbarButtons appear. You can edit
the text of any tiddler by double-clicking on it (or selecting 'edit'
from the toolbar), but your changes won't get saved permanently until
you make your own copy of TiddlyWiki, as described in SaveChanges.
This
ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki fixes a problem with line breaks within
tiddlers under InternetExplorer. It also tries to avoid closing
tiddlers while they are being edited. There's a bunch of smaller
BugFixes as well, but they are somewhat balanced by the KnownBugs.

This
is the ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki, released in April 2005. The
SecondVersion was released in December 2004, and before that the
FirstVersion in September 2004.\n\nSee the RevisionHistory for details
of minor changes and bug-fixes since the ThirdVersion. See HowToUpgrade
an earlier version of TiddlyWiki to the latest revision.
As
you can see in the RevisionHistory, I've been occasionally updating
TiddlyWiki with bug fixes and minor new features. If you've been using
an earlier revision of TiddlyWiki, here's how to upgrade to the latest
version:\n* Open your TiddlyWiki file in FireFox (say it's called
"mystuff.html")\n* SaveChanges to make sure that you've got a backup of
it\n* Without closing that page, right-click on [[this
link|http://www.tiddlywiki.com]], select 'Save target' or 'Save link'
and save it as "mystuff.html", replacing your existing file\n* Now go
back to the previously opened copy of "mystuff.html" in your browser
and SaveChanges again. It will inherit the newly saved code\n* Refresh
the page in the browser to verify that the upgrade has worked
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
HelloThere LatestStuff MainFeatures
On
the Mac, I use Safari by choice and it's a nuisance having to switch
over to FireFox to save TiddlyWikis. Unfortunately, I haven't been able
to find an easy way to get Safari to do the necessary file operations
(except as a DashboardWidget, but that's another story). I'm hopeful
that it'll get fixed but in the meantime you'll need to run FireFox if
you want to use TiddlyWiki as a writing tool on the Mac.
The
format for PrettyLinks allows for links that open local or network
folders. Depending on your browser and operating system, the folders
are opened in Windows Explorer, the OS X Finder, or the browser
itself.\n\nEdit this tiddler to see [[this link to a Windows network
share|file://///server/share/folder/path/name]], [[this link to a
Windows drive-mapped folder|file:///c:/folder/path/name]] and [[this
link to a Unix-style folder|file:///folder/path/name]].
The
first and original was
[[PhpTiddlyWiki|http://www.patrickcurry.com/tiddly/]] from PatrickCurry
and GabrielJeffrey that adds a simple ServerSide in PHP with MySQL.
Patrick's site allows anyone to create and edit tiddlers, and has
become the de facto community site around TiddlyWiki.\n\nSome of the
other adaptations include:\n* NathanBower's GTDTiddlyWiki at
http://shared.snapgrid.com/gtd_tiddlywiki.html\n* DanPhiffer's

(caution: on Safari, it seems to get locked up with error alerts)
Several
popular GreaseMonkey scripts can cause some or all features of
TiddlyWiki to stop working - the default Linkify script seems to be
particularly troublesome. There doesn't seem to be a //solid// way to
disable GreaseMonkey from within TiddlyWiki (which is technically
entirely understandable but does lead to a fairly grim user experience).
The
addition of AutoSave to the InterfaceOptions causes TiddlyWiki to
automatically perform a SaveChanges each time you edit a tiddler,
making it a good deal harder to accidentally lose information. However,
if you also choose to SaveBackups you will end up generating an awful
lot of files...
This
is one of the InterfaceOptions you can use to customize TiddlyWiki. It
determines whether TiddlyWiki creates a backup file each time you
SaveChanges. I'd suggest keeping it switched on for safety!

InterfaceOptions
are displayed when you click the 'options' button on the right. They
are saved in a cookie on your browser, making them sticky between
visits. RegExpSearch allows more complex search expressions;
CaseSensitiveSearch does as it's name implies. The user name for edits
should be set //before// starting to edit things (ouch. another bug).
AutoSave and SaveBackups give the option of automatically saving
changes and whether to generate backup files.
This
ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki offers the following features:\n*
compatibility with most modern browsers (although you can only
SaveChanges on FireFox and InternetExplorer under Windows)\n* more
slickness and InterfaceOptions concerned with whether to SaveBackups
and the ability to AutoSave\n* a new liquid CSS layout that fills the
width of the browser window\n* InterfaceOptions revealed by clicking

PrettyLinks, SubHeadings, BulletPoints, NumberedLists, HtmlTables,
BlockQuotes, HorizontalRules and...\n*
...EmbeddedImages:\n[img[brixhamharbour.jpg]]\n* some BugFixes balanced
some KnownBugs
This
list is probably dwarfed by the UnknownBugs, but anyway, I'm planning
to fix these:\n* InternetExplorer on Windows has a habit of merging
consecutive spaces into one. This normally doesn't matter too much, but
would trip you up if you tried to use NonWikiWordLinks to create a
tiddler title with multiple consecutive spaces.\n* Interleaving lists
of BulletPoints with SubHeadings doesn't work properly\n* "Highlighted"
and Hexadecimal coloured text formatting is broken\n* WIN/IE 6 messes
up list items when you edit a Tiddler with multiple headings\n* There's
some problems with HTML encoding during saves which means that you
can't have HTML tags in tiddlers\n
Welcome
to the improved ThirdVersion of TiddlyWiki, an experimental
MicroContent WikiWikiWeb built by JeremyRuston. It's written in HTML,
CSS and JavaScript to run on any modern browser without needing any
ServerSide logic. It allows anyone to create personal SelfContained
hypertext documents that can be posted to any web server, sent by email
or kept on a USB thumb drive to make a WikiOnAStick. If you like it, do
please EmailMe and let me know.
Triggered
by NathanBower's GTDTiddlyWiki, there's been a rush of activity around
TiddlyWiki over the last few days. My first response to all the
excitement has been the only natural one for a geek: I've been
furiously programming some BugFixes and new features. See the
RevisionHistory for details. I'm still working on a new RssFeed
facility, but in the meantime I've added a CustomStyleSheet feature
that lets you customise the colour and positions of the TiddlyWiki
screen elements with a certain amount of CSS knowledge.\n\nThere's a
few questions that crop up frequently from TiddlyWiki users that it's
worth addressing here: SafariSupport and compatibility with
GreaseMonkey. Also, if you're still trying to get your head around what
TiddlyWiki is all about, you might enjoy this

Starting
with this revision, you can skin TiddlyWiki with a special StyleSheet
tiddler containing your own CSS style sheet declarations. Unlike
hacking the HTML directly, the StyleSheet tiddler withstands upgrading
to a new version of the TiddlyWiki code (see HowToUpgrade).\n\nThe
ExampleStyleSheet shows some of the basic options you can control.
SaveChanges and then click refresh in your browser to see StyleSheet
changes. Any errors in your CSS syntax will be caught and displayed,
but they shouldn't stop TiddlyWiki from working. Having said that, this
feature does not seem to work properly in Safari just yet.
