Ciao Mark 

This is still in process but  it shows something about Noto *Splitology* that 
is *really excellent*.

I think real world issues are helpful. For a long time I wanted to present 
(and edit) movie scripts in TW. The problem I always had was that 
screenplays have an incredibly strict discipline. Movie makers think in 
terms of "pages". One script page being one minute of film. Its a very old 
method. And very odd if you don't use it.  But it works well. Very well.

What I needed was a way to combine & split according to editing need. This 
changes over time in screenplay development. In First edit you really need 
be SCENE focused. In Later edit you need be PAGE focused.

The definable split, plus snapshot export back to *one *Tiddler, in Noto, 
basically gives a method to infinitely play with screenplay writing in a 
way that actual screenwriters could use. Here is a proof of concept where 
split in Noto is on every 56th line ... "*splitregexp[%SPLIT%]*"

MISERY comes out at at 105 pages. That is more or less its length in 
minutes, so that is perfect for screenwriting. (FYI the visible Page 
numbers are just dynamic CSS counters on the back of a Noto class., which 
is what you want, you would not want them hard coded.)

FYI, I inserted the split points into the script using Tiddler Commander. 
So there is no need to leave TW to do that.

I'm pretty sure you could cascade actions like this into "recipes" such 
that a screenplay author could focus on writing extremely well. Moving 
between scene splits and page splits via WikiText "compiles".

*I wanted you to see it*, mainly because Noto is "document" focused, and 
this a Good example of that, I think. 

Noto is very easy to use and, with thought, can be matched to many end 
purposes.

Thanks & best wishes
TT
