! Creating tiddlers
|
||
|
||
You create a tiddler either by clicking the <<.icon $:/core/images/new-button>> button in the sidebar, or by clicking on a link to a missing tiddler. Links to missing tiddlers are shown in [[blue italics]].

! Editing tiddlers
|
||
|
||
To edit an existing tiddler, click the <<.icon $:/core/images/edit-button>> button at the top right of the tiddler.
|
||
|
||
!! Draft mode
|
||
|
||
When you create a new tiddler or edit an existing one, the tiddler will go into draft mode. This presents a control panel for modifying the tiddler in various ways. It has several parts, from top to bottom:
|
||
|
||
*''The title field'' - Use this to change the title of the tiddler
|
||
*''The tag selector'' - Use this to add or remove tags. As you type a tag name in the box, a dropdown list will show you any existing tags that match. You can pick from this list or create a completely new tag. Then click the ''add'' button or hit the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key to add the tag to the tiddler. Each tag is shown as a coloured pill. Click the "×" on a pill to remove that tag
|
||
*''The text area'' - Use this to edit the main content of the tiddler. Click the ''preview'' button (<<.icon $:/core/images/preview-closed>> / <<.icon $:/core/images/preview-open>>) to see what your changes will look like
|
||
*''The type selector'' - Use this when a tiddler needs to be displayed in a special way, such as an image. See ContentType for a list of the options. The default is `text/vnd.tiddlywiki`, which means the tiddler contains WikiText
|
||
*''The field selector'' - Use this to add or remove fields on the tiddler. For example, if you are editing a tiddler that's being used to tag other tiddlers, you can add a [[''list'' field|ListField]] to change the order in which those tiddlers will be listed
|
||
|
||
! Save, cancel or delete
|
||
|
||
When you have finished editing, click a button at the top right of the tiddler:
|
||
|
||
*The ''ok'' button (<<.icon $:/core/images/done-button>>) stores your changes to this one tiddler and leaves draft mode. If your wiki is configured to [[AutoSave]], your changes will be permanently saved. Otherwise they will only be stored temporarily in your web browser, and you will lose them if you close your ~TiddlyWiki page without first clicking the master ''save changes'' button (<<.icon $:/core/images/save-button-dynamic>>) in the sidebar.
|
||
*The ''cancel'' button (<<.icon $:/core/images/cancel-button>>) discards your changes (after asking you to confirm) and leaves draft mode.
|
||
*The ''delete'' button (<<.icon $:/core/images/delete-button>>) deletes the entire tiddler (after asking you to confirm).
