Welcome to
TiddlyWiki5, an interactive wiki written in
JavaScript to run in the browser or under node.js. It is a reboot of
TiddlyWiki (
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/), the now venerable, reusable non-linear personal web notebook first released in 2004.
TiddlyWiki is based on the idea of making information more useful by modelling it in the smallest meaningful semantic units, referred to as "tiddlers". Structure comes from links, tags, and stories (sequences of tiddlers). Tiddlers use a wikitext notation that concisely represents a wide range of text formatting and hypertext features.
TiddlyWiki has earned an enduring place as a tool that people
love using for its rich, interactive interface to
manipulate complex data with structure that doesn't easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or wordprocessors. Because people can use it without needing any complicated server infrastructure, and because it is
open source, it has bought unprecedented freedom to people to keep their precious information under their own control.
TiddlyWiki was originally created by
JeremyRuston and is now a thriving
open source project with a busy
Community of independent developers.
TiddlyWiki5 can be used on the command line to perform an extensive set of operations based on
RecipeFiles,
TiddlerFiles and
TiddlyWikiFiles.
Usage:
node tiddlywiki.js <options>
-The command line options are processed sequentially from left to right. Processing pauses during long operations, like loading a
recipe file and all the subrecipes and
tiddlers that it references. The following options are available:
--recipe <filepath> | Loads a specfied .recipe file |
--load <filepath> | Load additional tiddlers from 2.x.x TiddlyWiki files (.html), .tiddler, .tid, .json or other files |
--savewiki <dirpath> | Saves all the loaded tiddlers as a single file TiddlyWiki called index.html and an RSS feed called index.xml in a new directory of the specified name |
--savetiddler <title> <filename> [<type>] | Save an individual tiddler as a specified MIME type, defaults to text/html |
--savetiddlers <outdir> | Saves all the loaded tiddlers as .tid files in the specified directory |
--servewiki <port> | Serve the cooked TiddlyWiki over HTTP at / |
--servetiddlers <port> | Serve individual tiddlers over HTTP at /tiddlertitle |
--wikitest <dir> | Run wikification tests against the tiddlers in the given directory |
--dumpstore | Dump the TiddlyWiki store in JSON format |
--dumprecipe | Dump the current recipe in JSON format |
--verbose | verbose output, useful for debugging |
Examples
This example loads the tiddlers from a
TiddlyWiki HTML file and makes them available over HTTP:
