Jed and Josiah,

I appreciate your contribution, but I think you are missing the point. If I 
am authoring tiddlywikis, and entering content into tiddlers (not code, 
designs etc...) it is great to have multiple tiddlers, tagged and 
organised, but if you jump from one tiddler to another to add, edit, review 
and modify tiddler content it costs you time and thinking space that 
interferes with the process of capturing ideas. In my example during a 
training course.

If I could search through a displayed tiddler click somewhere in the text 
and start typing rather than;

Search for where I want to add edit text, open the tiddler for edits, 
re-search for the point in the tiddler with a somewhat different layout (As 
not wikified) Position the cursor then continue typing.

In someways it would not matter if it did not address transclusion and 
substitution, just opens at the nearest possible position. Because my main 
concern is when imputing original content. This is wearing the content 
author hat.

I think you two may be coming from a design developer perspective, This is 
a Hat I also wear, Then consider this. I have a Tiddler called ShowCode, 
which is Tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate and the contents are;

<!-- My Comment -->
<$list filter=[is[current]tag[ShowCode]]>
<pre><$view field="text"/></pre>
</$list>

Now any "code tiddler" I want I tag with ShowCode and at the bottom in view 
tiddler mode I see the actual contents pre-rendering (unwikified), for 
example try it on the shadow tiddler $:/core/macros/export

Now a designer developer can view the code and with my dream solution click 
to edit at a particular location. No need to deal with the complex 
rendering issues.

However if we could deal with the transclusions and substitutions such as 
in preview mode, eg; click on part of the preview that is transcluded, the 
result of a macro etc.. and the cursor jumps to the line that invokes the 
transclusion all the better.

Do you guys see my vision?

Tony
