description: Load tiddlers from a file

Load tiddlers from TiddlyWiki (`.html`), `.tiddler`, `.tid`, `.json` or other local files. The processing applied to incoming files is determined by the file extension. Use the alternative `import` command if you need to specify the deserializer and encoding explicitly.

```
--load <filepath> [noerror]
--load <dirpath> [noerror]
```

By default, the load command raises an error if no tiddlers are found. The error can be suppressed by providing the optional "noerror" parameter.

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.

Fix problem with `--load` command overwriting `$:/core` Now we use the `wiki.importTiddler()` method - it rejects attempts to load older versions of loaded plugins 2014-03-31 11:46:10 +00:00
