What better way to show transclusion in action but with a simple recipe with:
- Deeply intertwingled flavour !
- i.e has my five food groups: sweet, salty, spicy, fatty-ish, tart
- An intertwingularity of recipe tweaking possibilities !
I've added a "Mum's BBQ Sauce" "page" (well, "tiddler" in TiddlyWiki speak) to my Intertwingularity Slice'n Dice Wiki:
In that tiddler, you'll find two references to a "Frying Onions to Translucence" tiddler: one reference is a hyperlink reference to the tiddler, and the other reference is a transclusion of the tiddler.
Aside, in TiddlyWiki...
- a tiddler hyperlink reference is created by placing the tiddler's name within double-brackets, like this: [[Frying Onions to Translucence]]
- a tiddler transclusion reference is created by placing the tiddler's name within double-curly-brackets, like this: {{Frying Onions to Translucence}}
While surfing the web, there are times when I appreciate jumping from one page to another, particularly when I want to consume completely unrelated/distinct content (or, content I want to singularly focus on without distraction).
Often, though, I like to see extra content shown "right there", embedded within the context of a greater whole. When that greater whole, the context, disappears upon click of a hyperlink, that more often than not drives me into intertwingulitis by browser back and forward buttons. Arg!
I have some serious transclusion appreciation because it facilitates:
- the creation of content once ("Frying Onions to Translucence")
- a single-source of content to maintain, enhance, and always be "current"
- the easy/quick inclusion of content anywhere needed as a component of any other content (any bigger recipe, like Mum's BBQ Sauce, or a burger recipe, a casserole recipe, etc. etc. etc.)
In some future part 3, I'll show another (possibly more practical?) use case.
Cheers !
