TiddlyWiki5 Syntax README

This extension adds TiddlyWiki5 syntax-highlighting to Visual Studio Code. TiddlyWiki5 is a rich, interactive tool for manipulating complex data with structure that doesn't easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or wordprocessors. It is a javascript environment that lives in the Browser and Node.js (and a few other implementations) which builds a Wiki/Content Management System out of "the smallest semantically meaningful chunks" – named tiddlers. When run in the browser, each tiddler is a javascript object in memory (and is also represented as a <div> of data when the wiki is saved as a "single file" *.html).

When run under Node.js, TiddlyWiki saves each wikitext tiddler to disk as a separate text file with a *.tid extention. Other "MIME Types" (images, json text, etc) are saved by the server along with a *.meta file that describes all other tiddler-fields (the file-content becoms the "text" field when loaded into the wiki).

This extension is intended for editing seperate tiddler files with Visual Studio Code.

Features

Based primarily on the grammars found below, with heavy tweaking and editing.

• https://github.com/PaulPorfiroff/atom-language-tiddlywiki5
• https://github.com/roma0104/sublime-tid

*.tid and *.meta files have their field-names identified (and illegal characters detected). All field content (text field included) is parsed as "text.html.tiddlywiki5" (defined in ./syntaxes/tw5-wikitext.json).

Release Notes

1.0.2

• Updated tid Snippet to offer a dropdown of type field options. -- Mahalo to "_Phi / hpx1" for the contributions!

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!

1.0.0

• Release!

0.1.2

• Improved variable, tranclusion, link, and macro definition recognition
• Setup seperate "language names" for *.tid / *.meta ("tid"), vs / *.multids files ("multitids") vs *.tw / *.tw5 wikitext ("tiddlywiki5"). This helps debugging and with certain grammar features (injections).
• Mapped MIME types

0.1.1

• Improved string and pragma recognition

0.1.0

• Initial release
