! Excise text
From the [[Editor toolbar]] you can export selected text to a new tiddler and insert a [[link|Linking in WikiText]], [[Transclusion]] or [[macro|Macros]] in its place. Click ''Excise text'' (<<.icon $:/core/images/excise>>), input name of the new tiddler, and choose excise method.

!! How to excise text
# Highlight the relevant piece of text 
# Click ''Excise text'' (<<.icon $:/core/images/excise>>)
# Give the new tiddler a title.
# Choose if the new tiddler will be tagged with the title of the current tiddler (see note below).
# Choose replacing method: [[link|Linking in WikiText]], [[transclusion|Transclusion]], or [[macro|Macros]].
# Click the ''{{$:/language/Buttons/Excise/Caption/Excise}}'' button

<<.strong Note!>> If you choose the option to `Tag new tiddler with the title of this tiddler`, the new tiddler will be tagged with the name of the current tiddler before it has been edited. If you have changed the title of the current tiddler, save it first and edit it again to perform excision with this option.
Documentation of Using Excise text (#2533) * Documentation of Using Excise text Documentation on the Excise text function. I propose that the Excise text drop down ( the tiddler: $:/language/Buttons/Excise/Caption/Tag) links to this doc. I don't have permission to (or don't know how to) edit that tiddler in github. I propose the following text for the drop-down tiddler: Tag new tiddler with the title of this tiddler (If the title is changed you have to [[save and re-edit\|Using Excise]] to use the new title as tag). see the issue: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/2531 * Update Using Excise.tid changed headings in response to discussion * Doc for editor toolbar buttons (wikitext) Documentation for buttons special to the editor toolbar (wikitext) * Update Using Excise.tid placed it under the new [[Editor toolbar]] * Update Using Stamp.tid placed it under the new [[Editor toolbar]] tiddler * Update WikiText.tid added reference to [[Editor toolbar]] * Update Formatting text in TiddlyWiki.tid added reference to the [[Editor toolbar]] * Update WikiText.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid * Update Editor toolbar.tid typo 2018-11-27 21:12:44 +00:00			`created: 20160810122928198`
