title: Features
* [[Bitmap images|Motovun Jack.jpg]] and [[SVG images|Motovun Jack.svg]] are first-class citizens alongside text
* Concise and expressive WikiText that generates semantic HTML
* Integrated [[AES encryption|How to use TiddlyWiki5 as a standalone HTML file with encryption]]
* TiddlyWiki isn't just a wiki - you can build custom applications with it like this TaskManagementExample
* Familiar user interface elements like <$button message="tw-modal" param="SampleWizard" class="btn btn-inverse">wizards</$button> and <$button message="tw-notify" param="SampleNotification" class="btn btn-inverse">notifications</$button>
* Easily [[import|ImportTiddlers]] content via drag and drop, copy and paste, or browsing for local files
* TiddlyWiki is [[surprisingly scalable|Scalability]] to many thousands of tiddlers and megabytes of content
* Explore the [[D3.js visualisation plugin|http://five.tiddlywiki.com/d3demo.html]]
* Many internal improvements:
** TiddlyWiki can now be run under [[node.js]] as well as in the browser, allowing it to be used as a personal web server
** An elegant [[microkernel architecture|PluginMechanism]], that allows infinite customisation by replacing and augmenting the core modules
** TiddlyWiki5 can directly build both itself and previous (2.x.x) versions of TiddlyWiki from their constituent separate files, without needing external tools
** Run the TiddlyWiki5 [[test suite|TestingMechanism]] from http://five.tiddlywiki.com/test.html
The deep internal changes mean that TiddlyWiki5 is not compatible with previous versions, using different plugins, themes and so on. Content prepared for previous versions of TiddlyWiki will need massaging to work properly in TiddlyWiki5.

Welcome to TiddlyWiki5, a reboot of TiddlyWiki, the non-linear personal web notebook [[first released in 2004|History]]. It is a complete interactive wiki in JavaScript that can be run from a single HTML file in the browser or as a powerful [[node.js application|node.js]].
TiddlyWiki is designed to fit around your brain, providing a better way of managing the overflow than traditional documents and emails. The fundamental idea is that information is more useful and reusable if we cut it up into the smallest semantically meaningful chunks -- [[tiddlers|Tiddlers]] -- and give them titles so that they can be structured with links, tags and macros. TiddlyWiki aims to provide a fluid interface for working with tiddlers, allowing them to be aggregated and composed into longer narratives.
TiddlyWiki5 has many [[improvements|Improvements]] over the original. It is currently in alpha, meaning it is working but incomplete. It is a great time to get involved and support its [[future development|RoadMap]]. You can:

title: Scalability
You might expect that TiddlyWiki's architecture as a SinglePageApplication would make it unsuitable for large amounts of data. In fact, TiddlyWiki users regularly work with files that are 20 or 30 megabytes without problems - and successful experiments have been done up into the gigabytes.

System tags are used to give special behaviour to tiddlers:
* [[$:/tags/stylesheet]]: indicates that a tiddler should be applied as a CSS stylesheet
* [[$:/tags/ViewTemplate]]: indicates that a tiddler is a template that should be included in the ViewTemplate
! System tags in use
These are the system tags in use in this wiki:
{{{ [is[shadow]tags[]prefix[$:/]] [!is[shadow]tags[]prefix[$:/]] +[sort[title]] }}}

title: TiddlyWiki
TiddlyWiki is a rich, interactive interface for manipulating complex data with structure that doesn't easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or wordprocessors.
TiddlyWiki is a rich, interactive tool for manipulating complex data with structure that doesn't easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or wordprocessors.
TiddlyWiki is based on the idea of making information more useful by modelling it in the smallest meaningful semantic units, referred to as [[Tiddlers]]. Structure comes from links, tags, and sequences of tiddlers called stories. Tiddlers use a WikiText notation that concisely represents a wide range of text formatting and hypertext features.
TiddlyWiki is designed to fit around your brain, helping you deal with the things that won't fit.

Tiddlers use a WikiText notation that concisely represents a wide range of text formatting and hypertext features. TiddlyWiki aims to provide a fluid interface for working with tiddlers, allowing them to be aggregated and composed into longer narratives.
People [[love using|Raves]] TiddlyWiki. Because it can be used without any complicated server infrastructure, and because it is [[open source|OpenSource]], it has bought unprecedented freedom to people to keep their precious information under their own control. TiddlyWiki was originally created by JeremyRuston and is now a thriving [[open source|OpenSource]] project with a busy [[Community]] of independent developers.

title: SingleFileApplication
A SingleFileApplication is a web application where all of the assets are delivered in a single static file.
Every SingleFileApplication must also by definition be a SinglePageApplication, but the converse is not true.

title: SinglePageApplication
As defined by Wikipedia, a SinglePageApplication is a web application that presents itself as a single HTML document that dynamically loads additional content as the user browses the site. Frequently, single page applications are carefully designed to hide their nature, appearing and functioning as an ordinary static website by respecting the address bar and the back/forward navigation controls.
Unusually, TiddlyWiki is also a SingleFileApplication.
