Files containing single tiddlers can also have an auxiliary `.meta` file formatted as a sequence of name:value pairs: ``` title: TheTitle modifier: someone ``` !! ~TiddlyWeb-style .tid files These files consist of a sequence of lines containing name:value pairs, a blank line and then the text of the tiddler. For example: ``` title: MyTiddler modifier: Jeremy This is the text of my tiddler. ``` Note that many text editors require that files include a terminating newline. If you want to avoid including the terminating newline in the text of the tiddler you can use this alternative syntax: ``` title: MyTiddler modifier: Jeremy text: This is the text of my tiddler. ``` //The ContentType `application/x-tiddler` is used internally for these files// !! TiddlyWiki `
` .tiddler files In TiddlyWiki 5, `*.tiddler` files look like this: ```
Note that there is an embedded 
 tag, and line feeds are not escaped.

And, weirdly, there is no HTML encoding of the body.
``` These `*.tiddler` files are not exactly the same as the tiddlers inside a TiddlyWiki HTML file where they are HTML encoded. Older `*.tiddler` files more closely matched the store format used by TiddlyWiki at the time: ```
This is an old-school .tiddler file, without an embedded <pre> tag.\nNote how the body is "HTML encoded" and new lines are escaped to \\n
``` //The ContentType `application/x-tiddler-html-div` is used internally for these files// !! ~TiddlyWeb-style JSON files These files are a straightforward array of hashmaps of `name:value` properties. All field values must be specified as strings. For example: ``` [ { "title": "First Tiddler", "text": "Text of first tiddler", "tags": "one two [[t h r e e]]" },{ "title": "Second Tiddler", "text": "Text of second tiddler", "modified": "20150216171751154" } ] ``` //The ContentType `application/json` is used internally for these files// !! TiddlyWiki HTML files TiddlyWiki HTML files contain a collection of tiddlers encoded in `
` format. For TiddlyWiki to import an unencrypted HTML file, it requires a `
` containing tiddler DIVs as explained above. For example: ```
HTML encoded text of tiddler
Text of this tiddler
```
