TiddlyWiki is a Wiki developed by Jeremy Ruston and of which the use more the current is that of personal notebook . The whole of the wiki is contained in a single file HTML including/understanding the contents, the style sheet CS and codes it Javascript necessary to its operation. With TiddlyWiki Jeremy Ruston launched a new type of tool of Knowledge management personal centered around the concept of nonlinear creation of microphone-contents.

After downloadbeing downloaded towards an hard drive (or any other local memory support), it is possible to create contents in the form of headings called tiddlers comprising bonds between them and of the bonds towards Internet. Once TiddlyWiki launched on a navigator (Firefox for example), it is possible to save the modifications in a manual or automatic way.

One can see TiddlyWiki as an application of the reason MVC within the framework of the constraints imposed by a document HTML. A tiddler is published in a field HTML Textarea. At a given moment, only some tiddlers is visible. The follow-up of hyperlinks causes the posting of new tiddlers. The nonvisible tiddlers are present in the document in form chains in elements HTML with a beacon div. Formattage in HTML of a tiddler is done only during its insertion in the visible part of the document. That makes it possible to store the totality of the tiddlers in page HTML without incurring it cost of a monolithic page which would post all the tiddlers.

The tiddlers can be marked by tags whose heading is left with the choice of the writer. That makes it possible to make searchs for tiddlers by tags. On the other hand TiddlyWiki lends itself badly to the drafting or with the consultation of documents with a total structure because nothing reflects this one in the posting of the page.

TiddlyWiki is published by Osmosoft under a license Open source BSD, making it thus available free. Many developers adapted the code to improve it, or at least to modify it according to clean needs. One thus saw appearing in the current one of the year 2005 of the versions which can be installed on a waiter Internet, functionalities of search of virgin headings or classification by tags.
