TiddlyWiki5 can be used to build older 2.x.x versions of TiddlyWiki from their constituent components. Doing so involves these additional features over and above those used for building TiddlyWiki5:

• The tiddlywiki2/loadrecipe plugin, containing a deserializer module which allows tiddlers to be loaded from TiddlyWiki 2.x.x .recipe files
• The tiddlywiki2/stripcomments plugin, containing a new viewer format for the <$view> widget that strips single line JavaScript comments starting //#
• The stripTitlePrefix='yes' attribute of the <$fields> widget, which removes prefixes wrapped in curly braces from the title attribute
  • For example, {tiddler}HelloThere would be transformed to HelloThere

Usage

TiddlyWikiClassic is built from the command line by running TiddlyWiki5 under node.js. A typical usage would be:

node ../../tiddlywiki.js \
	--verbose \
	--load <path_to_recipe_file> \
	--savetiddler $:/core/templates/tiddlywiki2.template.html <path_to_write_index_file> text/plain \
	|| exit 1
