Here's a Tip describing how to create a tabbed, self-referencing To Do list submitted by Alvin Orzechowski. It's a simple, elegant solution. Go to [[THIS LINK|http://tiddlywikitips.com/Tip9example.html]] to see an example of this in action! TiddlyWiki's Tag macro is a very handy way to create a Tiddler that displays the contents of two or more other Tiddlers. In the original [[TiddlyWiki|http://TiddlyWiki.com/]] you can see how this macro is being used in the right column, under options. But using Tags is bothersome if the contents of the Tiddlers are expected to change regularly. For example, in a To Do list. Typically a To Do list is a list of three lists grouped by priority, say 1 (most important), 2 (important), and 3 (not so important). Begin by creating a Tiddler for each of these priority lists: Tiddler "~ToDo1" contains: {{{ ![[Urgent|ToDo1]] *Item 1 *Item 2 }}} Tiddler "~ToDo2" contains: {{{ ![[Important|ToDo2]] *Item 1 *Item 2 }}} Tiddler "~ToDo3" contains: {{{ ![[Need To Do|ToDo3]] *Item 1 *Item 2 }}} Each of the above Tiddlers begins with a title: {{{ ![[list identifier|Tiddler id]] }}} This is followed by an unordered list. The formatting can be altered to suite. Then create a Tiddler to combine these lists: Tiddler "~ToDoList" contains: {{{ <<tabs txtFavourite Urgent "Priority 1" ToDo1 Important "Priority 2" ToDo2 "Need To Do" "Priority 3" ToDo3 >> }}} Now when you open the ~ToDoList Tiddler you will see tabs for each of your priority lists, and each list will have its own title. Click on a list's title to bring up that list's Tiddler and edit as needed.
