TiddlyWiki5 Syntax README

This extension adds TiddlyWiki5 syntax-highlighting and snippets to Visual Studio Code. TiddlyWiki5 is a rich, interactive tool for manipulating complex data, with structures that do not easily fit into conventional tools like spreadsheets or wordprocessors. It is a javascript environment that lives in the Browser and Node.js (and a few other implementations) which builds a Wiki/Content Management System. The design recommends building with "the smallest semantically meaningful chunks" – named tiddlers. A tiddler could be a system javascript module that is loaded on wiki boot, or a few paragraphs of user notes on a topic, or a wikitext function that build a Table of Contents out of a set of related Tags.

When run in the browser, each tiddler is a javascript object in memory (and is also represented as a json in custom <script class="tiddlywiki-tiddler-store" type="application/json"></script> element when the wiki is saved as a "single file" *.html). When run under Node.js, TiddlyWiki saves each wikitext tiddler to disk as a separate text file with a *.tid extention. Other "MIME Types" (images, json text, etc) are saved by the server along with a *.meta file that describes all other tiddler-fields (the file-content becoms the "text" field when loaded into the wiki).

This extension is intended for editing seperate tiddler files on disk with Visual Studio Code.

Features

Based primarily on the grammars found below, with heavy tweaking and editing.

*.tid and *.meta files have syntaxes that parse the metadata field "block" (and illegal characters detected). All field content (text field included) is parsed as text.html.tiddlywiki5 (defined in ./syntaxes/tiddlywiki5.json).
