Hello *David* and thank you very much for your reply, clarification, and contributions (already given and offered)! I will be sure to only reference it as Stroll going forward :)
If I may ask, and I feel this is from an ignorance on my part so I apologize, what is the purpose of the bi-directional linking? I understand the functionality, but from a practice standpoint, is the idea just to provide a quick reference/link for convenience (as mentioned Linking in Stroll, part 2 from your site which I just now read a second time and perhaps did so correctly this time lol)? Or is it also way to create a "summary" or "list" of related content? I guess my confusion/over thinking is coming from the idea that if you are writing a wiki entry and link to a related entry then somewhere in that entry there would end up a link back to the original entry. Now I'm saying wiki entry but in this case I mean Tiddler. IE: Country A Country A is a vast land composed of [[City A]], [[City B]], and [[City C]]. Etc. Etc. City A City A is the capital of [[Country A]] and is due north of [[City B]], and [[City C]]. Etc. Etc. City B City B, is the second largest city of [[Country A]] and can be found south of [[City A]] and west of [[City C]]. City C City C, is the smallest all of [[Country A]]'s cities and can be found south of [[City A]] and east of [[City B]]. In order for the bi-directional links of Stroll to work I would need to do the above, or at least have a reference like section where I list out the associated Tiddler links at least once. But haven't I already created a bi-directional link when I linked to/created City A from Country A and then referenced Country A in City A? I could see not having any content in Country A, simply a tiddler with the title Country A and then having the related contents of City A, B, and C link to [[Country A]] with *Highlights in context* turned on in the Stroll settings. But then how do you determine which Tiddler level to use the "summary"? There is also the idea that I'm butchering the tiddler method here and am over complicating things by treating TiddlyWiki as something it isn't by default and that Stroll turns it into. I hope I haven't been offensive in my questions/explanation. Just trying to understand everything better for TiddlyWiki use in general, and my own World Builder project. Thank you in advance for your time!
