Jan and Thomas, Forgive me for resurrecting this old thread, but I wanted to thank you both for the efforts you've put into the footnotes problem in TiddlyWiki, your work goes a long way to making this tool much more useful for me. The contributions you've both made are simple, clean and elegant. Mind you, by simple I mean in presentation, not in implementation - I could not have coded the beginnings of such a solution.
I've actually taken the code I'm using from Jan's implementation, and while I like the inline display of footnotes when selected, I've modified it's appearance back to something more similar to Thomas' in several small ways - a discrete background behind the footnote number in the tiddlers, a darker number itself, and I returned the ordered list in the footnote tiddler at the bottom of the story river to ease association with original tiddlers up the river. The code in Thomas' implementation helped me achieve a look that suits me well in Jan's code. In an unrelated post some time back, I saw a comment from Alberto Molina (another TW champion I'd like to wholeheartedly thank) about what he uses TW for. He'd mentioned nearly finishing his thesis in Zotero and LibreOffice, and that TW was better served for notes, comments, ideas, etc. about the references he manages in Zotero. I agree with this completely as there's no point in re-inventing the wheel. Combined with TW and TiddlyMap, along with several other fantastic extensions and plugins this helps me coordinate, track, plan, and utilize data in ways I couldn't have managed before. Zotero allows you to export to the clipboard a bibliographic entry for resources it contains, and this is ideal for attachment as a footnote entry. It allows me to easily look up the original reference in Zotero, open it in a new tab from Zotero, and be about as integrated with TW as I'd really need. Direct links would be nice, but as I understand it, Zotero will not for security reasons allow direct links back into its DB. Note that I can almost use a direct link from Zotero, if I first right-click on an entry, select "Generate report from item..." and then copy the zotero:// link from the browser to use as a footnote. This still requires me to copy/paste from my footnote into a new tab in my browser before being able to open the zotero report, and then I have to search for the original entry anyway, but it is another option for integration. This email is the long way around to a short point. I wanted to thank Jan, Thomas, Alberto, Felix, Jeremy, Tobias, and dozens of other remarkably talented people working with TiddlyWiki for the remarkable tool, and the fantastic extensions you've all provided. While it takes a new user some time how to tie this all together, the possibilities are amazing.
