description: Load tiddlers from a file

Load tiddlers from 2.x.x TiddlyWiki files (`.html`), `.tiddler`, `.tid`, `.json` or other files

```
--load <filepath>
```

To load tiddlers from an encrypted TiddlyWiki file you should first specify the password with the PasswordCommand. For example:

```
tiddlywiki ./MyWiki --password pa55w0rd --load my_encrypted_wiki.html
```

Note that TiddlyWiki will not load an older version of an already loaded plugin.
