Import from TiddlyWiki 5 to Obsidian

If anyone else is attempting to do this, I found another option that seems simpler than the option described here and doesn’t use pandoc (although I never tried the version described above, I didn’t need to). There is a plugin that allows markdown export directly from tiddlywiki that worked well for me:

  • Assuming you have tiddlywiki installed:
  • Import into tiddlywiki server version
    • tiddlywiki <name> --init server
    • tiddlywiki <name> --listen port=8090
    • Open the tiddlywiki in a browser and drag your tiddlywiki or tiddlers onto it.
  • Add cDaven’s tiddlywiki → markdown exporter
  • Export from cmdLine:
    • tiddlywiki myJournal --render [!is[system]] '[encodeuricomponent[]addsuffix[.md]]' 'text/plain' '$:/plugins/cdaven/markdown-export/md-tiddler'
    • if any tiddlers have issues (some of mine using specific addons failed), delete them or remove the problematic parts.
