Can you please implement conversion from tiddlywiki format to markdown

Apparently, they call their syntax WikiText

Seconded, as per my issue, #6602.

I second this also. That's quite unique piece of software; very convenient in everyday use. And it's interoperability is great - in most cases, it's just one html file.

@mb21, they call they syntax WikiText, but it has some differences from, for example, MediaWiki.

It would be great to support this. I've moved to Drift (a TiddlyWiki custom distribution) exclusively for my personal and professional information management, but for very large amounts of text, I still prefer to use IA Writer (Markdown). Cut and paste is not ideal but I still think it's acceptable if we could get this conversion natively. Thank you!

Can I offer 10 bucks to that.

I certainly will offer 10 bucks for all spammers to shut up.

I agree that I'd rather not read spammy messages. I'd also like to ask everybody to keep it civil, please.

I'm not spammer. I'm just a tiddlywiki user. I just wanted to donate some bucks to speed the solution of this bug but the responses I saw.... it disappointed me.

I believe that your comment was written with good intentions. But let me suggest some alternatives:

1. Want to help financially? Make an unconditional donation.
2. Want to pay for the feature? Ask for a quote.
3. Show appreciation on a budget? Offer to buy a drink or just say "thanks"!

The message was received as spammy because it seems to contain the hope for preferable treatment, and the investment of a significant amount of dev time, in exchange for a tip. It gives the impression that the work which goes into this is undervalued.

To offer a rough idea of the effort that will be required, we can take a look at Jira support. It took about 6 weeks of early-morning, evening, and weekend work to get acceptable quality of conversion. This was followed by many hours of bug fixing once Jira support had landed in pandoc and the feature was used on more documents. I'd estimate that it took well north of 60 hours to get it all done. I hope this makes it clearer why a small amount of money, offered as an external motivator, is doomed to be extremely ineffective.

As a heads up: I've started on working on a TiddlyWiki writer. Looking at the history, it seems like new writers are added as a single commit, so I'll wait to open a PR till it's complete.

For who wanna convert markdown to tiddlywiki, i implement a lua plugin to do this. Check following

There is also a tiddlywiki support convernt tiddlywiki to markdown

From a comment it does sound like this is in progress, thank you for that.

Until that is complete, have found a work around. Import the markdown plugin to your tiddlywiki, and then convert to markdown format. Just make sure to set type to Markdown.
