This chapter differs from the others in the book in that it discusses how TiddlyWiki integrates with other technologies – JavaScript, CSS, shell scripts, and so on. You may not have the technical knowledge or previous experience to benefit from some or all of these sections, so they are totally optional and not a necessary part of broad TiddlyWiki expertise, but if some of them look interesting and in line with your other skills, feel free to explore!

In this chapter

• JavaScript Macros – Macros can execute JavaScript code rather than evaluating wikitext.
• Stylesheets – Every little bit of page formatting can be customized by adding CSS to your wiki.
• Creating Plugins – You can share your custom TiddlyWiki tools with other wikis and users by extracting them into plugins.
• Writing Shell Scripts Against a TiddlyWiki – External tools can access the data in your TiddlyWiki by reading files and calling a Node.js CLI.
