To edit the menu:

2. Add menu items in [[]]

Adding External Links

Links to external sites can be entered in the following form:

This displays as a link with the title "NY Times"

Tiddler Links

To add a link from tiddler to another, enclose the name of the destination tiddler in [[]] for example, [[Destination Tiddler Name]].

Where names are entered with multiple capital letters (WikiWords), a link is provided automatically.

To prevent WikiWords from being converted to links, use a tilde (~) character at the front of the word.

Hi. Thank you very much. By the way, there is an error: it should be ^^suprscript^^, and not ^superscript^.

Thanks! It'll be great to add some info about shadow tiddlers - for example in a standard TiddlyWiki, the MarkupPostHead shadow tiddler contains HTML that is inserted at the end of the <head> section of the TiddlyWiki HTML.
