Well done guys who created
TiddlyWiki - OpenSource-system for managing records, which consists of a single HTML file! This file contains javascript code that manages the entries (which, by the way, are saved in the same file). The system has support for tags (tags), search, there are a lot of
other features , such as embedded plug-ins, themes, settings for templates, colors, styles, etc. You can automatically create backup copies in order not to overload the current folder with backups of your notebook). I note that some of the settings are saved in browser cookies, keep this in mind. See the list of supported browsers
here .
Customization of the system allows you to customize the user menu, articles that should be displayed at system startup. It is possible to set various commands in the link (open an article with the given name, create an article, search by tags, etc.).
Unfortunately, the
Russian version of TiddlyWiki is available, but only for version 2.1.3. The current version 2.4 (as well as 2.2, 2.3) is not yet Russified.

Next, I will describe some syntax, as well as a brief procedure for working with the system.
1. Save
this HTML file with TiddlyWiki (right mouse button, Save as ...) to any place (hard disk, USB flash drive).
2. Run the file with the browser (javascript must be enabled!).
Next, we configure the system, create several articles, modify the menu and start page. For simplicity, I will call TiddlyWiki a “notepad.”
3. By default, the
GettingStarted article should start. It contains links to several basic settings:
SiteTitle ,
SiteSubTitle ,
MainMenu ,
DefaultTiddlers . Click on the first link to open the system article (shadowed tiddle) SiteTitle (notepad title), which you can edit (Edit). To save - click Done, to cancel - Cancel.
SiteSubTitle - respectively, the subtitle of the notebook.
4. Create a new article
Useful links , which we then put in our menu. To do this, click on the link "New tiddler", a new article will be opened. Give it a title, text, you can specify tags. Save the article. TiddlyWiki automatically recognizes links, so you can list the most frequently used links in this article.
5. We want this article to be displayed in the main menu of the system. To do this, open the
MainMenu article, in the text of which
add the line
[[Useful links]] to GettingStarted . That is, in double square brackets. With these brackets we inform the system that in them is the name of the article to which you can refer (for a full list of formatting options, see
this link). Click save (Done), and see how the main menu of the page has changed.
6. The system article
DefaultTiddlers determines which articles will be opened at system startup.
Actually, this information is enough to start working with TiddlyWiki. Those who want more features, I advise you to explore the system settings (Options, Advanced Options), as well as the documentation on the
official website TiddlyWiki, which, by the way, is in its essence a regular TiddlyWiki file. And this
link is available for
iPhone TiddlyWiki.
Perhaps this system will become the main advanced notebook, in this case I advise you to customize your browser's homepage to this file.
