title: Creating SubStories
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

This example shows how to create a sub-story within a tiddler that is independent of the main [[story|Story River]].  The NavigatorWidget and ListWidget work together to:

# Add tiddlers to the [[story|Story River]] when links are clicked. Navigate to the tiddler corresponding to the link click. (''story'' attribute of the NavigatorWidget)
# Remove tiddlers from the [[story|Story River]] when tiddler close buttons are clicked. (''story'' attribute of NavigatorWidget)
# Animate the opening and closing of tiddlers. (''storyview'' attribute of the ListWidget)
# Display the list of open tiddlers. (''filter'' and ''template'' attributes of the ListWidget)
# Display tiddlers in [[draft mode|DraftMechanism]]. (''editTemplate'' attribute of the ListWidget)
# Track [[navigation history|HistoryMechanism]]. (''history'' attribute of both NavigatorWidget and ListWidget)
# And more!

Here is the example code (see also StateMechanism for related discussion):

<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src='<$navigator story="$:/temp/DemoStoryList" history="$:/temp/DemoHistoryList">

{{$:/core/ui/SideBarSegments/search}}

<$list
  filter="[list[$:/temp/DemoStoryList]]"
  history="$:/temp/DemoHistoryList"
  template={{$:/config/ui/ViewTemplate}}
  editTemplate={{$:/config/ui/EditTemplate}}
  storyview="classic"
  emptyMessage="Use search box above. Clicked search links will open here instead of in the main story.<p>No search ideas? Click this link to get started: HelloThere</p>"/>

</$navigator>'>
