Welcome to <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a>, a reboot of <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a>, the non-linear personal web notebook <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/History.html'>
first released in 2004</a>. It is a complete interactive wiki in <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/JavaScript.html'>
JavaScript</a> that can be run from a single HTML file in the browser or as a powerful <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/node.js.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> is designed to fit around your brain, providing a better way of managing the overflow than traditional documents and emails. The fundamental idea is that information is more useful and reusable if we cut it up into the smallest semantically meaningful chunks – <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/Tiddlers.html'>
tiddlers</a> – and give them titles so that they can be structured with links, tags and macros. <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a> has many <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/Improvements.html'>
improvements</a> over the original. It is currently in alpha, meaning it is working but incomplete. It is a great time to get involved and support its <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/RoadMap.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a> can be used on the command line to perform an extensive set of operations based on tiddlers, <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFolders.html'>
TiddlerFiles</a> and <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFiles.html'>
TiddlyWikiFiles</a>. For example, the following command loads the tiddlers from a <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
tiddlywiki.js</code> from the command line boots the <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> kernel, loads the core plugins and establishes an empty wiki store. It then sequentially processes the command line arguments from left to right. The arguments are separated with spaces.</p><p>
The first argument is the optional path to the <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFolders.html'>
