TiddlyWiki Templates

(Large portions of this content from http://www.giffmex.org/twfortherestofus.html)

  1. Create the template tiddler. Put text and tables and formatting exactly the way you want your new tiddlers based on this template to appear.
  2. Create a macro that will open a new tiddler based on your template.

    Where
    I have listed YYYY, insert the words you want to appear in the label
    for your macro. Where I have listed ZZZZ, insert the exact title of the
    template tiddler that each new tiddler will be based on. Where I have
    XXXX insert any tags that you want to be appended to each tiddler that
    the macro creates.
<<newTiddler label:"YYYY" tag:"XXXX" text:{{store.getTiddlerText('ZZZZ')}}>>

Note that you can have multiple 'tag:' arguments to add multiple tags, but if you put multiple tags inside a single 'tag:' argument, you'll get a single tag that is composed of multiple words.

3. Decide where you are going to store your macro. You can add it to the SideBarOptions menu under 'new tiddler' and 'new journal.' Or you can add it to a tiddler that you can access from your MainMenu.
