The command line options are processed sequentially from left to right. Processing pauses during long operations, like loading a [[recipe file|RecipeFiles]] and all the subrecipes and [[tiddlers|TiddlerFiles]] that it references, and then resumes with the next command line option in sequence. 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` and `--servertiddlers` are for different purposes and should not be used together. The former is for TiddlyWiki core developers who want to be able to edit the TiddlyWiki source files in a text editor and view the results in the browser by clicking refresh; it is slow because it reloads all the TiddlyWiki JavaScript files each time the page is loaded. The latter is for experimenting with the new wikification engine.
`--wikitest` looks for `*.tid` files in the specified folder. It then wikifies the tiddlers to both "text/plain" and "text/html" format and checks the results against the content of the `*.html` and `*.txt` files in the same directory.
